No Name Monday on a Tuesday

Roses in the Dark pastel 18x12 available $100.00


My 13 year old son has acquired the taste for roses - He has started growing his own small rose garden in the back yard but has plans drawn up to eventually have his garden looking like the Biltmore Estate.  He checks them numerous times throughout the day - removing wilted blooms and checking for Japanese beetles (picking them off one by one) it's a miracle that he's taken an interest in something other than video games and we want to encourage him as much as possible.  This painting is a tribute to his rose growing.  The roses above were a little on the wilty side that he removed, but still had some beauty to them, so he put them in a small glass for me and put them on the window sill in the kitchen.  It wasn't until night fall that the scene drew me in to paint.  So this is your challenge for today - can you come up with a beautiful name for his beautiful flowers?  What's the first title that comes into your head?  After all ideas are submitted, I'll let him pick the final forever name.
