The One Dozen Roses PROJECT series started in 2014 as a tribute to the antiwar movement and student strikes of the late 60’s and was created from my photos of aging roses.  Its themes of beauty, aging and death were deepened by the January 2015 terrorist attack and killings of 12 people at the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris. The French captions are a reference to the international response to the Je Suis Charlie movement. This is an ongoing project, as individual works are sold, a new painting is painted to keep the full dozen complete.

The One Dozen Roses project will be shown at the Art Museum, California Center for the Arts, Escondido, CA in Spring 2024

All paintings are 50” x 40" acrylic on canvas.
