Description
This is the mythological and magical Blue Rose. And I give it to Laurie, called Webshadow here at RR. She has not been well of late but is on the mend. She was among the first who encouraged me when I posted my first tentative image here. But there is more her art has a quality that is almost indescribable it is warm and has heart and soul in every composition it washes over you like a gentle night breeze. Those of you who have not seen her work do not know what you have missed
Now this rose here, in ancient times, was reputed to cure any and all malady when given by a well-wisher; and I do wish well so may its magic work and quickly!
Thank you all so very much for all your wonderful comments and I wish to thank you for taking your time to view my artistic scribblings. Your comments and suggestions are not only deeply appreciated but valued highly.

t's lovely Paul.It reminds me of the play, "The Glass Menagerie".The main character,Laura,is mistakenly called 'blue roses' by the object of her affection.I couldn't help but think of that when I saw your upload today.Evidently,you and Tennessee Williams think alike.Blue roses would be a wonderful anomaly.How thoughtful of you to do this for your friend Laurie.She must be very unique.I send her my own warm wishes as well....-Marlene :)

I'm a little choked up right now...so forgive me if I am at a loss for words. I have always believed in the existence of the blue rose and always hoped to see one someday. (how you picked up on that is amazing! grin) As I've gotten older, I have come to realize that I have seen many blue roses throughout my lifetime. You, Sir, are one of my "Blue Roses" here at Renderosity. The wonder of your art and photography is only eclipsed by your warmth and caring as a human being. Whenever I need to surround myself with the beauty of nature, or the humor of those little slices of Americana that you capture so unfailingly, I know I only need to wander into your gallery to find all that I seek. Thank-you, so much, Paul, for the magic of this gift. It has brightened my night more than you will ever know. It is an amazing and delicate capture....simply glorious. Huge, huge HUGS....and a sincere VOTE
