"Orange Rose" 12x16 Colored Pencils on Canson Mi-Tients Paper

This Salmon colored-rose drawing I had was in my collection of pencil drawings. Upon seeing it recently, I decided to post it. Traditionally, the rose is considered the flower of love. I read that salmon or orange roses signify passion and energy. They express intense desire, pride and fervor. A single orange rose says, "I am proud of you."  As I was considering its meaning, I thought it would be a fitting tribute to all our past accomplishments and our future ones as artists. Enjoy the New Year!
