Roses

I have always been afraid of roses. 
Roses hold such intense meanings. 
Each color has a meaning.
The number of roses in a bunch holds meaning. 
Such symbolism for a flower. 

I have been painting roses these last two weeks. 
Even in my sleep.
And when I am dreaming, I think I have it down, only to awake and find, once again...
I can't.

So, I went back to tulips yesterday. 
But when I am done, with this painting I will conquer the rose.
