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.
