Wild Roses
6x6in oil on gesso board $85.
I remember we called these Wild Roses and they would line the embankments and countryside pathways on our hikes when I lived in England. Since I do nothing more than put geraniums in pots for the summer I cannot claim to know what type of wild rose they are. My daughter, who plants bulbs for me to paint in the spring, assures me it doesn't matter. A rose is a rose!
Working with both brush and knife I had difficulty trying to be loose with a different shape of rose and much smaller leaves and spent much too long wiping everything off and starting again. I am painting on gesso board which is pretty smooth and find I prefer the canvas texture when using a palette knife. Tomorrow I will see if I can use only a brush and still achieve what I want to.
Beautiful Julie!
