Pink Country Rose

Did I mention that I'd be painting more roses? Well this one has a little different personality from the traditional rose. Lots of soft varied petals. Honestly do not know the official name, but it reminded me of the country.

Painted with a mongoose extra long egbert brush... hope you like it.

Peach Rose Still Life

Painting roses, use to scare me and stop me in my tracks, but I persevered and enjoy working with them as painting subject. Flower portraits are especially nice because I can concentrate on the unique nature of each bloom. Roses, roses, roses.... more on the way!

White Rose Portriat - SOLD

Today I spent some time catching up on posting images to my blog. My bad for taking so long to do this, but life has a way of distracting me from my to do list.

I decided that since I've been having some good results on ebay, I should take it all to heart and be more consistent by posting the images that have sold! I mean I am thrilled beyond words. Enough said...

Three Small Still Life Studies

Still Life was the first subjects when I began learning to paint. I absolutely love it. It is pulling together objects that bring about a sense of harmony - a place to view - and feel balanced at lease for a few moments.
