Monday's Rose, 2008
Original, 10" x 8"
Oil on canvas panel
SOLD
Here is the "final" version of the rose, which you have seen in progress over the past couple of weeks.
I reworked the background several times, overlaying colors to vary the lights and darks, and warm and cool colors. One can play around with innumerable possibilities! This is called "nuancing" in "art talk" and can result in very rich color.
For all my readers, this rose is for you. I hope your Monday is a pleasant one.
Many thanks for taking the time to read my blog. I appreciate your interest, support, encouragement, and comments. You are welcome to forward this post and painting to others, too.
See you Wednesday!

Ahhh...this is lovely Carol--warm, rich, soothing. Watching this painting develop reminds me of a quote by Pablo Picasso, "Unless your work gives you trouble, it is no good." Your pursuit of excellence is inspiring.
