Dusty Rose


like a dusty rose
from bud to bloom
she bathed in sun
under rain 
and stars
her scent beckoned to lean close
to inhale her beauty

  29. Dusty Rose is elegant. I particularly love how you did her neck, kind of slanted and expressive to go with her beautiful face.

    I did the mail art swap with Micki too and I can't wait to get my package! I love what she sent you!
    Very fun and good advice.

    Thank you for stopping by my blog, it is so nice to meet you!
