Did I mention I love roses?!!

I painted this panel a few years back and finally remembered I had it packed away in my art/craft room.  I have always loved roses and a single white rose is my favourite.  I wonder where I get my painting talents from?  My mom only ever stitched five stitches or so on her one and only embroidered piece 40 yrs ago.  My dad belonged to the cement mason union here but was hired by many local churches to repair or make new plaster designs etc for their interior.  His mom, my grandmother I never knew but my dad peddled her crochet wares throughout Bedford,NS back in the 40's as a teen.  How I wish I owned a single piece of something she had stitched.  Perhaps this is where my artistic and stitching talents come from?...
