Inspired by yellow roses in my garden….(I’m not green-fingered)….never pruned or cultivated this plant and it just thrives.

This piece is an intimate exploration of the vibrant yellow roses that flourish untamed within my garden. Created on canvas board using the textural interplay of gesso, the expressive strokes of acrylic, and the grounding depth of charcoal, this painting seeks to capture the essence of these wild blooms.
Unlike their cultivated counterparts, these roses possess a raw and resilient beauty. They speak of nature's inherent strength and an unbridled joy, their sunny hues radiating warmth and optimism. Each petal, rendered with a blend of deliberate mark-making and organic flow, reflects the unique character of these freely growing flowers. The charcoal undercurrent hints at the fleeting nature of bloom, while the layering of acrylic builds a luminosity that echoes the sunlight they so readily embrace.

For me, these yellow roses are more than just a visual delight. They are a personal connection to the vitality of my surroundings, a reminder of the simple yet profound beauty that thrives when left to its own devices.

This painting is an attempt to translate that personal experience onto the canvas, inviting the viewer to share in the joy and natural grace I find within these wild yellow roses.
