Over 80 stunning paintings and sketches of roses by award-winning artist Rosie Sanders, each accompanied by a letter about the flower.
Award-winning and hugely popular artist Rosie Sanders showcases the beauty of the rose in her follow-up to Rosie Sanders Flowers.
Over 80 stunning paintings and sketches are shown for the first time. The artist writes a personal letter on each of her rose paintings to be given unopened to the final recipient or buyer of the painting. Many of these personal letters sit alongside the paintings, as they explain the creative and emotional process she went through to create it. The book is a revealing insight into the artist's muse, and the author's sketches and drawings are also included to show the full artistic process.
The book is introduced by an extended essay on the resonance of the rose across the world in our art, literature, poetry, folklore, and gardens. The rose emblem is timeless, and this book not only celebrates its beauty in art but tells the story of the rose as one of nature's most powerful motifs.
