Painting the Roses...pink

Roses!
Not sunflowers anymore.



Here is a photo of some roses that I have painted twice now. Maybe three times.
This is the point that I am at.
I am a little stuck.
We all get here and I have learned to step back and not touch anything until I have a plan.



From a distance, these look great but I want to finish them off properly.
I am trying to work on the realistic colors and shadows.
I find that getting the right color can allow forgiveness for impreciseness. It is one of those wonderful elements in loose realism that I love.

Lets see if I can figure this out.

Iris (19-14)

Another iris for the collection. This is a part of the spring collection that I am working on. I kept the background simple so the focus was on the main attraction, the bloom. The purple is a deep variation of colour and the top of the bloom is a gauzy white.  This artwork could work in any room. It's small size allows for it to be a part of a larger compilation or in smaller spaces such as hallways, kitchen, or bathrooms. Iris (19-14) 6" by 6" oil on canvas board Click to buy with Paypal
