It's fun to try painting on different papers. This time it is ricepaper and the results are so different from painting on regular watercolor paper. The paint soaks in and dries very light so it requires multiple layers of paint to get some decent values. When living on Long Island NY my passion was growing roses, being a member of the local Rose Society and entering annual competitions. The last rose show before I moved to Florida I won several 'best of show' ribbons for my entries. It was very pleasing because of the all the hard work it takes to grow show roses. I have many photos of roses and even grow some here on my property in Florida. Painting roses has replaced growing them.
