Metha and Melisa series painting #6 picking up the wild rose

*Metha and Melisa painting series*

# 6 - picking up wild red roses.

When we were in grade school, during the weekends in the morning, Metha and I were often walking along the garden at Bumi Siliwangi (known as Bumi Isola now).

The days were still young and we could still feel the mist and the crisp in the air. Our favorite place to visit was the garden of wild flowers. Depending on the season, we would notice different varieties of blooming flowers. But our favorite was always the wild red roses. 

We would pick some stems of red roses and collect them in our small baskets. We sometimes would string flowers together to make crowns and wear them pretending to be princess of the day while walking proudly. The smell of the wild roses gave us an appreciation of the wonderful nature. 

My painting shows us happily walking by the garden and stoping to get few wild red roses. 

Another memory of my childhood time, spending with my dear friend, Metha.

I hope you like the painting I made, thank you.

Melisa,
