Christmas Rose Oil

The Christmas Rose or Helleborus Niger is a beautiful plant to have in winter as it flowers from December and on into the spring.
This is a painting of one that I have in a pot by my front door throughout its flowering season, giving a welcome to anyone approaching the house. I have painted the background a deep red/purple as a contrast to the white flowers that are painted in a loose style. With this painting the hellebores will shine throughout the year on your wall and not just over winter.
I have painted the edges of the canvas white so the painting can be hung on the wall as it is, or put into a frame if wished.
