Oil on canvas, 24”x30”

This painting is a close-up of a single rose from my garden, one that immediately struck me with its bold, sensual presence. The way the petals curled and layered, the richness of the red, and the hidden center all felt deeply symbolic and evocative.

To me, this rose is more than just a flower. It’s a visual metaphor for femininity, desire, softness, and power.
