Description
I was given this beautiful rose for Sweetheart's Day. This was the Saturday after Valentine's Day this year. A party and dinner were given to those of us, who are considered Ladies of the Shrine because our men are Shriners. It was a beautiful and simple gesture that I thought would be nice to commemorate in a painting.
I placed the single yellow rose in a pretty little orange glass bud vase that my mother had given me many years ago. I set it on a little wooden table in the dining room in front of the window. I liked the way the light shined through the blinds between the rich dark burgundy drapes. I was enchanted by the light and dark colors.
This is an acrylic painting on a 16 inch by 20 inch ultra smooth clay board.
Unlike pink, red and white roses that originate from Britain, the yellow versions derive from the Middle East and were only first noted in the 18th century. Since that time the flowers have cross bred and formed hybrids, creating stronger shades of yellow over time. Another side effect of this cross-fertilization has been the beautiful scent that yellow roses are now synonymous with. This one, indeed, had a nice lovely scent. It actually smelled like a rose!
Yellow as a color has, throughout history, been related to the sunlight and warmth. It has also become associated with cheerfulness and rejuvenation as these colors of flowers are seen to 'brighten the room. Roses as a species of flower are also symbolically linked to love,kindness and emotion. Thus, yellow roses represent a mixed combination of the two, as they are usually linked to ideas of cheerfulness, warmth and caring. In contrast to the exclusively romantic meanings attributed to pink and red roses, the yellow rose can be a symbol of platonic or familial love and sends a message of caring and affection towards the recipient. They are usually sent in a gesture of goodwill, and have also been given in acknowledgement of good fortune, happiness and congratulations.
