Rose
6x6, Original Oil on Gessobord
I admire the roses painted by Carol Marine, who can render a beautiful, elegant looking one with limited brush strokes and no fussing. Painting a rose is not easy; but like anything else, it's all about shapes and values. To find both, I know I have to squint. It's something I need to keep repeating to myself. Squint, squint, squint! This was painted using a palette knife... it's a little abstract with texture! Practice also helps, so I hope to tackle a few more.Wherever you are, I hope you are enjoying a good weekend, and staying warm!
This is a beautiful rose, Linda! Your colors are so soft and pretty. And I am amazed that you painted it with a palette knife. It feels very delicate. Great work!
ReplyDeleteI agree Carol Marine is an expert,but this is great too! The texture created by the palette knife is lively and the colours are really pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow! Not only are you the queen of marsh paintings, but you're pretty darn good at the roses. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Darla, Azra, and, Dave for your very kind comments. I appreciate your support and encouragement.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on the rose--colors are beautiful and love the palette knife texture.
ReplyDeleteIts lovely Linda. Bravo ... and with a palette knife too.
ReplyDeleteI love the texture in your painting Linda, you did a great job using a palette knife for your Rose ... very pretty!
ReplyDeleteVery lovely Linda!
ReplyDeleteThank you Judy, and Nancy... and Debi, and Cathy. You have made my day!
ReplyDeleteThis is so soft and lovely. I was painting a carnation the other day, I did 4 10 minute tries and then went at it but I picked a hard color and position and it was a wipe off...
