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.

Spring Rhythm

This is another one of my faves! It's a softer Spring piece but there is something almost musical about the flow throughout. The yellow flowers were trimmed from my rosebush out in the front yard. The rest of the arrangement came from Creekview Floral, who do amazing bouquets and arrangements. "Spring Rhythm" 12 x 16 oil on canvas This one needs a new home!

Color!

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

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
