This 22"x30" colored pencil drawing was created over the course of a few months, using Prismacolor pencils and black paper. Each rose in the 6x5 grid represents one day in a continuous 30-day cycle. I put a lot of thought into the shapes, styles, and colors of the roses for each day, as well as the backgrounds or other details. I wanted each rose to sort of tell its own story - but also work together as a whole.
After several hours of work, here is the final piece, in all its #30roses glory:
If you want to learn about the symbolism and things I was thinking about as I chose the characteristics of each of the 30 roses, you can check out
this September blog post I wrote when I started the drawing.
