It was important that I keep my promise. I had told Mr. Lincoln (seriously, that's his name, roses are named, in case you didn't know), that if he would hang in there I would do his portrait come Saturday. Well, wouldn't you know it, He was even bigger and showier when I went into my studio today. So we ditched the vase from yesterday and found a more sedate and less competitive container to cool his feet in. Now he and I are both happy---He has been immortalized for generations to come and I no longer feel guilty. I decided to include the photos of him before coming indoors to model.
