Rose From Next Door

A couple of posts before, I shared about the Desert Rose that our neighbor, Thomas, gave us.  His son and his wife are so much like him....bringing us various gifts.  Sometimes it's a trinket from one of their shops.  Sometimes Paul will bring over a special dish they prepare.  And other times, cut roses from the rose bushes Thomas planted years ago.

Saturday Paul and his wife, Jenny, gave this cut rose to Terry to give to me.  I tried to capture the color as close as I could.......pink with a slight tone of yellow.  The pink is actually lighter in value but I pushed it a bit in my sketch.
