Not just a pretty face — these roses are full of presence. Elizabeth Barlow paints flowers as portraits, each one with its own personality and spirit. This composition, with five distinct blooms set against a pale background, is both lush and deliberate. The artist’s connection to the rose garden at La Mirada, a property of the Monterey Museum of Art, gives the painting an added layer of intimacy — these are not generic blossoms, but remembered individuals.
