"Single Red Rose"

 

Another "title says it all" painting. Somehow I forgot to list this one, I had everything uploaded and ready to go, and then I was interrupted and forgot to go through with the posting.

 

Unfortunately I am currently nearly out of supplies. My next round of panels and paints are on the way, and I will be back to more regular posting shortly.

"Experimental Rose"

 

Title says it all. My inexpensive single roses were coming to the end of their service life. I decided to try a fast sketch on an old 6x6 board by building in deep color from back to front, painting directly without much of my usual pencil drawing on the board - sort of a compromise between direct painting (which doesn't work well for flowers in my experience) and careful build-up. I also went heavy and almost random on the color choices, not a lot of mixing, just picking stuff straight from the tubes.

"Single Peach Rose" and some photos

 

The local Upscale Market had some single roses on sale, which were a godsend as I'm all about saving money on supplies and subject matter, and I've been on the hunt for flowers that cost less than an Andrew Jackson. First up this week is an individual peach rose, which have special significance for me for reasons I won't disclose (she knows who she is). Happy birthday J!

I've also been adding some photos to my Flickr. I thought this one was of artistic interest:
 
I swear I didn't pose anybody in this photo. It looks like a painting by somebody who's name I can't recall.

"Tuesday Rose" for a late, unhappy Thursday

 

Title says it all. I'm not happy with most of the week's work and this was the first one I thought was even worth posting... And that's all I have to say about that.

6"x6" oil on gessoed panel

 

The local Hong Kong market had small teacups on sale for 99 cents. I picked up two, thinking I could work them into my painting somehow. The flower is a dried rose.
