Rose Garden #20-21

"Rose Garden" 
was my first attempt at painting roses on a large scale
 and as part of the rosebush instead of cut and arranged into a floral arrangement. 


Once I cropped a photo, I drew out the composition in vague geometrical patterns. From there it was just adding the base colours. I am pretty sure that I was painting over a painting. I will do that if there isn't that much relief on the underpainting.



After the base paint had dried, it was time to get serious and push in with the correct colours and final drawing, especially for the leaves. There was a lot of leaves.

                                           


One of the best things to paint were the highlights. 
There were so many of them and it was enjoyable to see the painting come alive with the sunlight. 


Almost done.

Color!

Did someone say they wanted a painting with color? HOT Pink! available as original or as a Print!  

Tulips

This is one of my favorite paintings. Nobody has bought it yet. It's just 8"x8" but it has so much presence. I think its time that it goes to a nice home.  

Happy New Year!

Another thank you to those of you who supported me last year.  It was a great year and I learned a lot.  Here's to hoping that this upcoming year will be just as good, if not better. Maybe I'll even use a different colour other than pink.
