Yellow Rose Serenade
Oil on panel, 12x6 |
By special request, I am painting yellow roses today. I have painted roses a few times, and they are always challenging. Using loose, impressionistic brushstrokes, I am working on capturing the essence of these beauties without tightening up on all the line work. This is one rose I do not have in the yard, so I had to go through some of my Loose Park Rose Garden photos for reference. When I was plein air painting there during the last Foundation for the Fountains event, the whole park was simply bursting with roses! I could not have picked a better time to paint there! Today was a very busy day, so I am painting and posting late tonight. Painting number 467 in 467 days - maybe I'll have to plant yellow roses in my own yard this year :)
