I had painted many roses, but, I had not seen any rose's size is similar as a peony. So, when I found the two flowers were so big that I thought of peony. So, as soon as I complete the painting of cherry-apple tree, I went to paint the Chinese roses. I went to there 3 times to paint it with a pencil April 4 - 5, 2014. Then today, April 15, I corrected it with a pen. It was windy when I painted it, so I did not think the shape of the flowers good enough. So, I painted it once more April 9. How do you think of this painting? Do you enjoy it?
