Roses for my Beloved
Roses for my Beloved
“Roses for My Beloved” is special to me. The original is an oil with glazes to allow you to feel the roses. I painted this during a time when a special presence in my life was very ill. He was with me more than a decade, by my side day and night. The sadness in his big beautiful eyes told me he was going to be leaving me soon. He passed away on Thanksgiving day with me by his side. It was a cold gray day in Ohio. The snow was like a blizzard and yet the sun for a moment pierced those cloudy gray skies, telling me that Simon was safely home. So, this will always be special to me and I hope is it will reach out to you too.
Original piece: India ink with pen and acrylic ink applied by brush on 500lb cold-pressed paper.
Purchased print is a limited-edition, professional glicée print, rendered on high-quality archival matte paper. The glicée print realistically displays the textures associated with pen and ink art. The standard print includes a sizable white border surrounding the artwork (as displayed in the image above). Matted pieces are prepared with one inch of matting on the top, left, and right, with two inches of matting at the bottom. Approximately 1/8” of the white border remains along the matte’s edge on the top, left and right. The title of the artwork and Sallie’s signature are visible along the bottom of the print.
