Blue Roses - Rudyard Kipling

In Blue Roses by Rudyard Kipling,
the poet rambles the world in search of an elusive blue rose for his lady fair.

Roses red and roses white
Plucked I for my love's delight.
She would none of all my posies--
Bade me gather her blue roses.

Half the world I wandered through,
Seeking where such flowers grew.
Half the world unto my quest
Answered me with laugh and jest.

Home I came at wintertide,
But my silly love had died
Seeking with her latest breath
Roses from the arms of Death.

It may be beyond the grave
She shall find what she would have.
Mine was but an idle quest--
Roses white and red are best!

Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks.

Inspire me thursday-In Good Time(Natural)

For this weeks challenge i created this painting.I hve been collecting leaves and petals and small flowers, grass or wat ever i can pick up on my way ...got an idea of creating something from ths ....i used these leaves which are very delicate and hve thr own natural color ,so i used natural pressed leaves as flowers and acrylic colors for leaves ,30 min time was sufficient for me to create ths piece.some times its gud to hve time limit.
