I don't grow many roses in my garden - they look gorgeous for a day or two and then get rather ugly as they become overblown. So in the paintings I'm trying to capture that day or so of glory. I attempt to suggest a different quality of light in each picture, and am looking for the colours in the white blooms, especially in the shadows. I show the flowers in close-up with little or no visible background. These paintings are not meant to be portraits of specific varieties. Some later pictures show coloured blooms.
