Tea Roses – JP3090 Cheap Sale Manchester Great Sale

What better way to decorate a teapot than with lovely tea roses? We generally imagine a large rose that is not as dense as an old fashioned cabbage rose so I try to paint them a little more simply. Honestly, though, I am greatly influenced by my feelings at the moment and discover new variations at every setting. I’m sure you will too. Just enjoy what happens and when you paint a rose or an arrangement of roses that you really enjoy, you’d better keep them because it probably won’t happen again exactly like that.
