Auction: Impermanence II – Garden Rose

Oil on Panel, 7 X 5 inches.

I went into the garden looking for ivy (for the painting I was working on today) and came across what must be the last of the roses on our climbing rose bush. I hadn't expected to see one at this time of year, and this stem had an opening flower, a dying flower and a dead bud, all together. The poetry of having all three on one stem, what is probably the last rose of this year too, was too much to resist.

On the second day, the opening rose shed almost all its petals before reaching it's full beauty. That's one of the petals at the bottom left.
