Description"White Roses" shows a beautifully rendered bouquet of flowers. The rose petals are painted in various shades of white and the wax-like texture of the leaves is conveyed beautifully by the light reflecting off of them. This painting is an excellent example of Parrish's classical approach to painting and his exceptional technical skills.It is interesting to note that Parrish has avowed that he paints roses only for people affiliated with the New Britain Museum of American Art, which commissioned "The Cycle of Terror and Tragedy: September 11, 2001".
