Garden Roses

Roses

8x6  oil on canvas  SOLD

Artist Note

This one was admired and taken

 before I finished it.

This is the 5th floral

I have done trying to 

explore different

compositions specifically

for a small canvas. 

I think Georgia O'Keeffe had the 

right idea of just doing a single

flower and filling the canvas.

She painted them HUGE so 

they had to be noticed.

I love her poppies.

I painted a rose in the tradition

of Georgia back four years ago

see below

I did this at the end of 2011

Here is a link to see more of her flowers

 I see many fabulous 

watercolor artists using 

the format of the close-up

of a single flower all the time.

 with amazing results. 

I think I am going to be trying 

to do one too.
