Iris and Old Roses

Iris and Old Roses, is the first painting in the flower series to depict cultivated flowers in a garden setting. A restful painting to contemplate, it was also a rest and pleasure to paint since the subjects grow in our own garden and are all favorites of long standing.”

 

–Fred & Maryrose Wampler

 

Wampler showcases her ease with depicting wildlife in this peaceful scene. Her painting technique and pastel palette bring a sense of relaxation and contemplation to the scene. Her skill is made undeniable as she captures subtle movement in the busy bee, the graceful butterfly, and the arching stems of rose buds almost ready to bloom.
