Ritzy Rose Finished


This probably has to be some sort of record for me...posting a finished piece so soon after putting the brush down. All this red really needs to settle a bit in my mind's eye, and then...we'll see. My rule is to live with a painting for a bit and if nothing "bothers" me, then I know I'm done. It's just those little things that we can fiddle with and fiddle with that make an artist crazy!


This is quarter sheet, Arches #140 paper, and mostly AJ paints (think I've shared this before).

  1. It looks beautiful Mollie!
    If you are happy with it after a few days will you frame it and hang it?

  2. This is a stunning piece! I think I would have been lost with all those lines and colors:-)
    You are indeed the Queen of Reds! Your reds just shine and glow. This painting could cheer up any room and any soul.

  7. The greatest thing about this artist blog community is to see that we are all so much alike. Your comment about the little things that "make and artist crazy" is so true, for me at least. And I too let paintings sit for awhile to make sure no other adjustment need made. Usually the painting will show up in different areas of my house, letting it be seen in different lighting at different times of day. Anyways, I enjoy you blog and intend on following it.
