Original Oil Painting, Rose Clippings

Rose Clippings, 2024

I worked at the local garden center for a few years on weekends. It's a family run shop in Mundelein, and they know their stuff. They hired me on the spot based solely on vibes. There are a couple of master gardeners on staff, and one of them was training me on pruning all sorts of things. We started on conifers and roses on my last few weeks. It looks like they are doing amazing with their full time staff, now. I follow them and hope they're doing well.
