Description
And it looks totally different as the petals begin to drop...
"Now sleeps the crimson petal, now the white;
Nor waves the cypress in the palace walk;
Nor winks the gold fin in the porphyry font.
The firefly wakens; waken thou with me.
Now droops the milk-white peacock like a ghost,
And like a ghost she glimmers on to me.
Now lies the Earth all DanaΓ« to the stars,
And all thy heart lies open unto me.
Now slides the silent meteor on, and leaves
A shining furrow, as thy thoughts in me.
Now folds the lily all her sweetness up,
And slips into the bosom of the lake"
[Alfred Lord Tennyson]

The changing life of the petals is quite interesting, lovely colours and angle to draw from too.

I love it that you always write some quations under your pictres. They would be charming without them as well, but it adds a lot to the pictures. Veryvery nice

The way the petals curl down and around remind me of a beautiful dress or something. I think picture is more at the 'dying' stage where it gives you that kind of helpless feeling. But you make it pretty all the same

Very beautiful... the colours and the texture. Nice work with watercolour!
Both roses are full of poetry.

Wow, great colors. I like how everything is so strangely blended, but not too much that you can't see what it is. Excellent.

This one is very lovely, also. The colours are beautiful. The verses you've chosen for each are like lovely music...moving, poignant.
