"Roses on Reed" is a capture of the entrance to a grand Victorian home in Plymouth, WI. I was just about to turn in my competition pieces for the 2021 Paint the Town in Fall Color Festival when I saw this lovely home. While I didn't have the time to paint the entire house like it deserved, I took a couple of hours to capture the entrance which seemed so inviting to me. I really liked the color harmony between the house color and the old blue spruce with dripping branches in the background. And I liked how that smoky blue-green played against the vibrant magenta roses, which is what caught my eye in the first place.
