This is #2 for the 30 day challenge but it also #2 of 3 of my little rose series. I think painting roses teaches me subtlety. Petals transition going from light to shadow but don't lose color. I am learning and having fun in the process! This is a 4x4 acrylic on wood panel.

Ooh! This just popped up on my blog list! Kaethe, this is stunning!! I love the muted colours and the way you've captured the sunshine. Great contrast with the background. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteP.S. When I said "muted" I think I meant "subtle" - because you certainly didn't lose any colour - the pinks are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks. That is actually something I am trying to work on...how to make things read but not lose color.
DeleteThis is one of the most lovely rose paintings I've seen! I look forward to more!
