My mother loves roses so this piece I dedicate to her. She talks to me like understand. She ought to know I can’t even keep a cactus alive. Plants and I are mortal enemies and since I am still kicking, my guess is I have killed the plants.
I am not totally sure I am done with this piece but it is close. Soon it will be in a padded envelope heading to the desert in Southern California.

Hi Nicki!
I enjoyed perusing through your blog . . . you have some GREAT pieces in here!!!! Did you digitalize this rose piece for your mom? It’s WONDERFUL!!!!!!
Thanks, Michi. This piece is actually a collage done on 8×10 canvas panel. The large roses were cut out of various magazines and a 2005 calendar.
