There is a Little Light at the End of a Painting Session


I am so happy. This is my recent oil painting of roses. It is on an 8X10" canvas. I am absolutely nowhere near where I hope to be, but at least there are darks and somewhat lights.

    Well they look just great.
    I have never painted flowers and would love to paint roses but they just don't turn out the way I want them to
    Well if at first you don't succeed try try again so I will.
    But these are great!!!
    Congrats!

    I think it's beautiful. I've not tried oils yet, still working in watercolors. Although sometimes I think I might be happier with a medium that didn't run all over the paper willy nilly.

    They're charming, and beautifully done, Carolina Elizabeth. Very complex petals to paint, and you've really done them well! Liz

A bit more Flow Blue (or Flo Blue)

Pink Roses in Flow Blue,   Oil on 6 "x6"   Linen Panel SOLD Private Collection in  Langhorne, PA  School is about to start again and it seems when it does the Holidays are close by and time goes faster. I decided this week I would "make" things go a little slower to get myself to relax. I get a lot of inspiration from so many other blogs, for my home and for my art. So, I went to several blogs that I've loved for so long, but really got to stay for a while. It was absolutely indulging--I wish I could do that more often.  There are times when I "have to" paint a certain item and I search and search as it nags at me until I find it. That was the case with the snap dragons below. I was thrilled to find them after most of June and July searching for them. I think they are perfect with the pink carnations. Although I am also working on a painting that is just the snap dragons. I did have to go a bit bigger than my usual paintings...
