I really enjoy this painting by my friend , a new painter .
There is a certain purity of expression here - a nuance which one doesnt expect to be caught in an oil painting that he has successfully managed. I can see a certain wistfulness in the chap's face as he holds the rose that has fallen from the beloved's hair and is trying to imagine the wonderful aroma of her hair .... and wondering when they would meet again..
It harks back to the romance of a bygone era - when romance was rich and deep.
