Pink Roses

From time to time I have to paint roses. My angle brush starts calling my name and I can see only pinkish/red and white tones.

So I don't resist it. I paint roses.

And then I decide who will carry the rose.


Or who will stand on the rose.

I used a 12.5"x14" piece of weathered wood and painted both sides. Why waste a perfectly good surface, right? This way it can be turned from one side to the other... two paintings in one. I liked that idea. And I also love the crackle finish. Look at the details.... so many patterns to explore.

    She is so beautiful with her rosy cheeks and all but you know I am such a sucker for your roses. There should be roses in every painting you paint.

    If I could paint roses like yours I'd be covering every surface with roses, roses, roses. I think I can actually smell them.
