Winter Rose

This was a challenging color scheme for me to work with.  I don't know about you but roses can be tricky!

They either seems to just come easy or very difficult depending on the day.  I enjoy them, and this time of year in Arizona they are in bloom.  So I will be busy painting more.

Colors I used:  Permanent rose, cad Yellow pale, transparent brown & red oxide, sap green, phalo turquoise blue, cobalt blue, titanium white.  For the background I mixed Terra Rosa hue with cobalt blue and white.

Hydrangeas with Blue & White

I painted this still life to day from some things one of my art teachers gave me.  The blue teapot, and the blue and white bowl.  I love the different color combinations it is a more complex piece but I felt in the mood for it!

I used a cradled wood canvas, made in the USA.  Well, gotta pack lunches for kids school tomorrow!

Keep squinting!  Keep painting!
