Yellow Bouquet Rose

Roses have faces to me. This yellow rose looks you in the eye and smiles, I think. It doesn't take itself too seriously, and just seems to fit in, even surrounded by neighbors that are so completely opposite it.

Hmmm, too much personification? Well, maybe, but I honestly find myself thinking these things as I paint. I like this guy's sunny smile, and if I'd thought of it sooner that would have been the title.

Hope it makes you smile...
