Hey Steemians, 

A lovely quote for a beautiful rose for this week's #rosesopenweekend challenge held by @petals:

***'There is nothing more difficult for a truly creative painter than to paint a rose, because before he can do so he has first to forget all the roses that were ever painted.' ~ Henri Matisse***

Thank you for stopping by!

Have a beautiful week-end!
