Recently while visiting the San Antonio Zoo with my family, I spied this rose-bush. I instantly fell in love with the color of these roses with the way they were moving in the breeze. While our kids played in the children's area and my wife and in-laws took a much needed break on a near by bench, I snapped a few photos for reference to use back in the studio. After looking at these images, I decided that I like parts of several of them, so I took them into Photoshop and did a little creative editing to turn four of five of the images into one reference image I could use to paint from. While this is my least favorite way to work, sometimes, you just can't argue with the results.
