Roses Against Adobe
Roses Against Adobe
6x8in oil on canvas panel $125. SOLD
I really, really enjoyed painting these beautiful roses.
I had fun with the title too. Can go two ways,
I mean, why are the roses against Adobe?
What has adobe ever done to them!
Did I hear a groan?

Beautiful color harmony Julie! The roses are gorgeous. I know one can't get too excited about green, but you really nailed the green color.
ReplyDeleteP. S. Love the adobe! :)
Thanks, Maria. Glad you like the green...my least fav color!
DeleteJust lovely, Julie. The colors sing yet somehow make a quiet statement at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol. You paint flowers beautifully.
DeleteGorgeous. I especially love the simple design.
ReplyDeleteYou are so nice to comment. Thanks Karen.
DeleteAlso, I love the deep pink tinge at the edges of the petals- give the painting real "oomph".

You do a beautiful job with roses too, Jen. The subtle colors in your white ones are gorgeous
DeleteThanks Julie! That means a lot coming from you! I listened to your response to my question about how you handle whites. Have you thought about doing some demo videos; possibly demos on fracturing?
DeleteJen
Ditto Nora!
ReplyDeleteJulie, when I grow up I want to paint as well as you. Oh, never mind - I am grown up and it's too late...
Funny - I had a good laugh. Thanks for the visit and joy.
