Rose Bush at Night – Ink and Watercolor on Fabriano Paper Embossed on Aluminum (18x20)

This expressive ink and watercolor painting portrays a rose bush in Cape Cod, illuminated as though by passing headlights in the night. Measuring 18x20 inches, the work is created on fine Fabriano paper and embossed on aluminum, giving the artwork both depth and permanence. The contrast of delicate watercolor washes and striking light effects captures the tension between fragility and strength in nature. An evocative choice for collectors of contemporary floral paintings, Cape Cod fine art, or mixed-media botanical works.
 
A personal note: the fragrance of Cape Cod's flowers is so delicate and fresh in the night. Inspired by night photography, I used the effects of inks to create a dream of a photo.
