Have you ever been given a lovely bouquet and wished you could have kept it longer? That the flowers didn't wilt so soon?

This gorgeous bouquet will brighten up a dark corner and cheer you up, even in the depths of winter!

I was given these flowers by Carmen, the wife of my art teacher, who is a florist. They were so pretty I just had to make them last longer by painting them. 

Painted on European linen, stretched on a wooden frame, nailed edge. Ready to hang. Can't you smell the rose?
