My first completed painting for the year is Judy’s Song.

This Australian bred rose is named for Judith Durham AO Australian singer, songwriter and musician who became the lead singer of the Australian popular folk music group The Seekers in 1963.  The rose was bred by Ray Courage and introduced in 2003.  It is an elegant light pink hybrid tea rose with a moderate fragrance.

I discovered this specimen in the gardens of Urrbrae House in Adelaide and it was a popular rose with the bees.

The painting is 51cm in diameter and is $400AUD which includes complimentary worldwide shipping.
