(WIP) Progress Photo 6/17/18 Working my way from right to left. Currently on my easel. These roses are just absolutely the most beautiful shades of orange, pink and corals. I was working on peonies but had to stop and just paint these lovely roses. Not sure of the exact rose name. I began this painting with a light coral background and actually took the time to sketch the roses out. I normally just wing it and start painting from the center out but since it was three, I want

Finished painting. 8" x 8" Original acrylic on panel board. These peonies graced my garden this. They are stunning flowers. I painted them against a royal blue background which I feel in love with.

I have challenged my self to paint white roses these last few weeks. White has been a bit of a challenge for me to work with. I finally feel more comfortable with it. A rose is certainly complex.
