State Flower of Oklahoma: Rose

2025

This captivating mixed media work layers a boldly rendered red rose atop a vintage road map spanning Oklahoma, with recognizable cities such as Tulsa, Bartlesville, Muskogee, and Denton visible beneath the floral subject. The rose is painted with confident, expressive brushstrokes in vivid crimson and deep scarlet tones, its petals defined by fluid black contour lines that echo the graphic clarity of illustration. Beneath the translucent petals, fragments of printed text bleed through, adding a literary dimension that intertwines personal narrative with geographic identity. Originals will vary from the posted image. Also available as a mounted print (not framed).
