Here is a quarter sheet close up on a rose I painted at our art retreat. Oranges are not my favorite colors to work with, so I "made myself" paint this one. I was trying to work some "lost and soft" edges and found that I probably need to paint a bit looser to achieve that look. I may glaze the blue leaf back some more as it is pretty bright. Was fun painting though. Now I need to get back to the tomato painting...still haven't decided on the background.

I love the effects you are getting in your backgounds. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteMollie, this is a most delightful painting with great textures especially in the background. The orange color is not one of my favorites either, but it really works in this painting!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary and Christie...glad you stopped by.
ReplyDeleteoooh, Mollie, this tangerine rose is beautiful. You've certainly done it justice! More than justice!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nita...orange isn't my fav color, but it was a pretty rose IRL.
