early wild roses


I have been meaning to cut back our patio roses. Just waiting for a warmer day without so much wind . . . sort of like today! Except we are heading to Houston so the job is being put off yet again.

Some of the roses are ignoring me and deciding to throw out blooms anyway. This particular rose is an antique variety rescued from an abandoned farmstead where it was found to be thriving without human intervention. That’s what the Antique Rose Emporium where we buy roses specializes in.

The actual colors of these petals are yellow, peach, pink, and rose — hard colors to replicate using the muted earthy colors of this palette, but I’m trying to see if I can stick to the same palette through the whole journal.

Everything looked great as I added a bit of text and put my pen down . . . So how did I manage to smudge the ink yet again?
