On the same day at the end of April when Lara set up her tea party photo shoot, I used her set up to take pictures of some of my latest paintings. 
I have been painting a lot of distressed signs lately and love to sneak in a rose or two or three whenever  I can and these little Vintage Chic  signs with rosebuds are fun to do. 
Given my way I probably would paint roses over anything and everything, but I do have to take a step back and not do that!  
On this particular day, due to a long cold winter and spring no roses at all were in bloom in my garden so I had to use some fake roses, which although quite good for fake roses, are not like the real thing by a long shot.  A month on from the date these were taken, with  a few weeks of warm weather and my roses are once again out in the garden - a riot of colour, and scent with full blooms and lusciousness and now as I write, it is raining! Sigh!! 
Maybe that is the reason I am always painting roses onto whatever I can?
