Yellow roses are an expression of exuberance. Yellow roses evoke sunny feelings of joy, warmth and welcome. They are symbols of friendship and caring – http://www.theflowerexpert.com
In my research I found several different meanings/symbolism’s for the yellow rose – this particular meaning stuck with me and it voices how I feel about the friendships developed over the last 7 years through WP blog.
Yellow Rose, Series #1 (acrylic painting) was painted on canvas using mainly golden and liquitex brand paints. I used a photograph taken of roses from my garden (before the rosette disease destroyed the bush – so sad because each year the bush was flush with very large gorgeous yellow roses).
Over the years many photographs were taken of my yellow roses that would be great painting references, so I decided to do a small series on yellow roses ~ perhaps 5 or so paintings over the course of the next 6 months. At least that’s the plan/goal.
Thank you for visiting and hope, my blogging friends, you have a Merry Christmas ~ best wishes for a wonderful 2020. (click onto the image for a larger view)

Really nice post my friend!
Thank you for such a lovely comment and the visit, much appreciated!
Your art is always amazing now to find blogs I love easier 🙂
Thank you so much Eunice, you are always so generous in your comments and thank you for all the likes – always appreciated!
So hard to find you in the reader 😦
Many of the blogs I was following, I noticed that I’m unfollowed. So I have had to re-follow again. Also I haven’t posted in a while, so that could be one of the issues of not being able to find my blog. I’ll have to get something posted so. Hope you are well and that the cold winter eases up soon for you.
I see that a lot as well. Having to re-follow those I have folled from the start.
Thank you my friend.
Beautiful yellow rose painting! Love the soft yellow color.
Happy New Year to you and your family, Mary!
Thank you so much Amy. Happy new year to you as well.

Thank you so much Patricia – they really do spread happiness. Merry Christmas to you and only the best wishes for a wonderful New Year – here comes 2020!
It’s beautiful! I like the delicate tone of the rose. We have a yellow rose in a pot on the terrasse! But very difficult to keep healthy! So far so good! In spite of the season there is still one flower left.
I wish you a Christmas full of joy and serenity and a 2020 with many satisfactions, positive emotions and much health! With friendship 🙂

Such a beautiful post Robert – thank you so much for your kind words. Yellow roses are a gorgeous flower and I’ll bet is only more so in your pot. I really miss our beautiful blooming bush (3 great flushes each year). Thank you also for your special Christmas greeting ~ Merry Christmas to you and yours and best wishes for a peaceful and healthy new year my friend.
And a very merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family too, Mary. 🎄🎅🥂😊
Thank you so much Mike – a very Merry Christmas to you as well. Best wishes for a wonderful 2020 to you and your family ~
