My client painted this. Nathan Dipietro. It's his wife. 

Every summer the parking strip across from my clinic grows the most luscious pink-orange roses that smell like peaches. I borrow a few for the desk. They are an aphrodisiac and make me swoon. Right now, I am fainting from pure joy.

Gorgeous painting. I used to have those roses in my yard when I lived on Aurora. They were actually a rose tree. They had that same scent.

Egg tempura, so hard to do.

My little boring roses at my house smell fabulous. They're just not flashy.

What a beautiful painting. I miss dating artists. It is so flattering to be the subject.

I will put others of his paintings up. who knew about him, about any of us, what art we engage in while waiting tables (or working as a vet receptionist).
