Experimenting With Watercolor

I have mentioned before that I've been painting alot lately. Oil and watercolor. This rose was originally a pencil and pencil crayon sketch I made years ago. It eventually made it's way onto my grandmother's gravemarker. When my mother asked me if I would etch my grandmother's gravemarker as a personal, permanent touch to her final resting place, I was honored. She loved roses, and I thought this rose would look lovely etched in stone, and it did. As a gift to my mother, I also painted this watercolor version. Watercolor is still a fairly new medium to me, but I enjoy working with it's versatility.
