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.

Hydrangeas

It's that time of year! Hydrangeas have bloomed. Sunflowers have bloomed. If you want them all year round, here's the best way to keep them! All are still available!

I know many artists like to listen to music while they paint but I like to listen to audiobooks. I borrow from the library and its usually great but today I was three quarters through when it expired on me (my fault). When I went back in to borrow it, I had to place a hold. So I'll have to wait a week to find out what happened. Blue Hydrangea 096 oil on canvas board 8" by 8" Click to Buy Whenever I look at a painting I can always remember what book I was listening to. In some ways I self title them that way. This one will always be split into two but I got it finished anyway. Not to advertise but I realize if I don't say it's a cliff hanger - Sara Gruen - At the Water's Edge (interrupted- don't tell me how it ends) Sara Gruen - Water For Elephants
