"Don't Go Anywhere", oil, 18" x 14"

I've had very few roses in my garden this winter (too cold here, or maybe it's my inept pruning) and so I'm happy that I was able to paint this still life while I had the chance to do it a few weeks ago.

Also, I'm honored to say that I won a Merit Award (a 5th Merit Award, to be exact) for this painting from the Portrait Society of America's 2012-2013 Member's Only Competition, Still Life Category. This painting is available for purchase at Principle Gallery in Alexandria, VA.
