Roses and a "Nor' easter"

It's truly a little miracle to go out to the garden on a stormy day in late October and find two sweet roses blooming. The winds were at gale force overnight with pouring rain, and still, thee they were, lifting their petals through the rain.
I decided to do another "Last Roses of Summer" painting. I did one last November and really loved the idea. In searching for a background, I thought of a book of paintings by M. Takayama. which contains several beautiful abstract paintings. I remembered a glorious yellow painting, and so i propped the book up in front of the roses.. I also thought the script was interesting.
I might like this version better. What do you think?
I'd love to hear your comments!
Happy Painting,
Evelyn
The contrast between the gale-force winds and those two persistent roses is exactly why I started painting my own "Last Roses" series last autumn. I've been using watercolour techniques inspired by Takayama to capture that kind of resilience, would love to swap notes sometime. https://image-to-video.org
Your Last Roses of Summer piece is haunting — those two sweet roses holding their own through gale-force winds make for such a powerful metaphor. I've been looking for a way to capture that resilience in my own garden paintings. https://aivideoonline.com
The image of two roses defying gale-force winds is so evocative—Takayama's influence must be adding such a dreamy depth to your "Last Roses of Summer" piece. I've been looking for similar stormy garden references for my own sketches, so any tips on your background process would be amazing. https://hy-3d.net
Evelyn, those roses pushing through gale-force winds in late October is such a beautiful metaphor — I love how you channelled that resilience into the "Last Roses of Summer" painting, inspired by M. Takayama's backgrounds. I've been looking https://hy-3d.com
Dans les immeubles anciens comme dans les habitations récentes, les canalisations peuvent s’encrasser progressivement sans signe visible immédiat. Ce n’est souvent qu’au moment d’un refoulement ou de mauvaises odeurs que le problème devient évident. Maes Service Débouchage illustre bien l’importance d’un diagnostic professionnel pour éviter des interventions inutiles ou inefficaces.
