Rose Rugosa


 

I took these photos a few weeks ago nearby a coffee shop, enjoying the blooms at this time of year.  Google Lens tells me they are Rose Rugosa.

Here is a painting I did recently based on these photos.

Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Lemons theme and Lemon Blueberry Yogurt cake

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date! Rain is on an indefinite break but I am continuing with her 'Lemon' theme. Here is my Lemon ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") acrylic on canvas.



 


 For the Dinner Date, I made this Lemon Blueberry Yogurt cake using this recipe.  I substituted a coconut Greek yogurt and used 3/4 c sugar instead of 1 cup.  It was really moist and good.

Here are the details of the little cakes which were works of art really:
