Description
A little over 6 years ago, I did my first watercolor painting. I was bored in a hotel room with nothing on the television and only a rosebud for company; so I painted the rosebud, but made it blue.

Blue roses have ever been a fascination of mine. Used to be they were impossible fantasies. Thanks to Australian and Japanese bioengineering, they now exist. Well, they've made one, and think they can breed it out to make vast amounts and shades and hues of real blue roses.

So, here I am, shirking what I should be doing, and instead, locking myself in my basement with loud music and paint; and a new blue rose is born, all these years - in some ways, a whole life - later.

Mei Gui is Mandarin for rose, by the way. Pardon my sloppy Chinese lettering. And yes, that's tengwar, not Mandarin, on the chop.
