A rose is a rose is a rose and by any other name is a rose.

This is a painting I did for my wife for Valentine's day. Why buy a rose when you can paint a rose.

David Lobenberg said...

That's the problem with flowers, Jimmy...they are expensive and are dead way too soon.

Cynthia, always!...I love to take the time not only to smell roses but also a good Italian salami. Fennel salami is one of my favorites.
