mono rose
A tattoo design created for my friend Sheri. she plans to place it on her front somewhere. 2007
She will promise you more / Than the Garden of Eden / Then she’ll carelessly cut you / And laugh while you’re bleedin’ / But she’ll bring out the best / And the worst you can be / Blame it all on yourself / ‘Cause she’s always a woman to me. / (Billy Joel)
Didn’t make it on time for Valentine’s Day. But you don’t need a reason to celebrate love!
i just cant get enough of these roses.. hope your not getting sick of them / I hope to be out this week to get some winter shots at the beach.. / the sun finally made it here.. thank you all of you for your support and kind words about my photos!
‘Pretty Melbourne Boys are Aloof’ they won’t let you borrow their comb or stare them in the eye….this is why….they wear dandy, shiny pointy shoes for you to shoe-gaze and lust over your hopeless new romantic boy…..perhaps their discomfort stems from the tight cut of their Jean?
roses touching / / /
I dreamt of you before we met / I willed you with all my heart / to seek me out from the cold and wet / and shelter me from the dark / It took so long to find you / and Life, she took her toll / and the pure heart that was meant for you / was wounded to the soul / But Life she had not spared you a fall / before we met you’d suffered it all / And so there we were, each in this world alone / destined to meet and create a home / destined to learn to love once more / but more truly and deeply and with all of our souls / Over the years you have healed my heart / more than you ever will know / you may roll your eyes at my affection / but I know it does strike home / I see the way you look at me / when you think my mind’s elsewhere / I see the smile dancing in your eyes / when you forget yourself and stare / I hear the purring escape your lips / when you embrace me close / when we kiss / I know your heart / I know you / We were meant to be I know its true / So nevermind the roses, and chocolates and all that jazz / material possessions come and go / Its our love that always lasts / You have given me the greatest gift anybodies known / You have fathered me our daughter and created for us / a safe happy Home… thankyou for taking the time to view my art and (hopefully) comment… / please have a look at my other artwork… / hope you enjoy! :) /

I picked out these roses for my father to give my mother for Valentine’s Day. They’re such a deep red color and the petals are velvety…almost black. I love those type of roses. I used a really low white balance when I shot this to give it a more bluish tone. Enjoy!

A rose is a perennial flower shrub or vine of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae, that contains over 100 species and comes in a variety of colours. The species form a group of erect shrubs, and climbing or trailing plants, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. It is a common error to refer to roses having thorns. Thorns are modified branches or stems, whereas these sharp protrusions on a rose are modified epidermal tissues (prickles). Most roses are native to Asia, with smaller numbers of species native to Europe, North America, and northwest Africa. Natives, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and fragrance. The leaves are alternate and pinnately compound, with sharply toothed oval-shaped leaflets. The plant’s fleshy edible fruit is called a rose hip. Rose plants range in size from puny, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach 20 metres in height. Species from different parts of the world easily hybridize, which has given rise to the many types of garden roses. The name originates from Latin rosa, borrowed from Oscan from colonial Greek in southern Italy: rhodon (Aeolic form: wrodon), from Aramaic wurrdā, from Assyrian wurtinnu, from Old Iranian warda (cf. Armenian vard, Avestan warda, Sogdian ward, Also the Hebrew ורד = vered and the Aramaic ורדא: these preceded the Greek above. Parthian wâr). Attar of rose is the steam-extracted essential oil from rose flowers that has been used in perfumes for centuries. Rose water, made from the rose oil, is widely used in Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine. The French are known for their rose syrup, most commonly made from an extract of rose petals. In the United States, this French rose syrup is used to make rose scones. Rose hips are occasionally made into jam, jelly, and marmalade, or are brewed for tea, primarily for their high Vitamin C content. They are also pressed and filtered to make rose hip syrup. Rose hips are also used to produce Rose hip seed oil, which is used in skin products and some makeup products.

\ / Arise My Love / A pencil drawing with additional photoshop colouring and collage, the title is from the “Song of Solomon” I am the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valleys – Song of Solomon 2. 1-17 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. / As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. / As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. / He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. / Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love. / His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me. / I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please. / The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. / My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, showing himself through the lattice. / My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. / For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; / The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land. / The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. / O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely. / Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes. / My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies. / Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.
