A rose blossom to Angela...
(even though she's seen this one already)
 
 Ahhhh, who can resist its velvet touch and scent so sweet you can practically taste it?

Thank you pausing to smell the roses...
Well, one rose anyway.

Ah, beautiful work, my friend. You have a talent, that is plain to see and you also have the perfect inspiration that any artist would envy.

How lovely, it really does look like soft like velvet. Hmm... I think you must have been inspired.

It's gorgeous like the two of you. Thank you for sharing something so precious.

l'Heure Bleue - Inspired...yes. She is lovely and my drawing does not do her justice but I try. When I think of her, roses come to mind. Thank you.

The depth and clarity..

And deep red.

Rated for singing blood (from the heart ;).

Sheila - The wonders of a white pencil, thank you. And the scent of a rose is beyond compare...one wishes for a new internet technology utilizing scent but the potential for abuse of such a thing is staggering!

Smells divine!
Is that love wafting through the air?

One of these days, I'm going to take you both, grind you up, put you in a perfume bottle, and spray you all over the house, until it becomes redolent with your loving kindness.

How wonderful to have so much true romantic love on a blog.
I had it once, death took it away, life will return it.

Genie - Oh, she is. Believe me.

Gary - You are welcome, sir. In her absence I find solace in my scribbles. And she likes them which is a big, big bonus.

RP - Welcome. I am so sorry for your loss...there are others on OS who have suffered in that way. I have said before - to keep one's heart open to possibilities, no matter how remote they may seem, is the surest way to find love, or for it to find you if you're not looking it. Thank you for stopping by.
