This is my contribution to
The Rose Challenge at DPW posted by the one and only
Carol Marine.
The challenge was to simply paint a rose in close up. And quite a challenge it was.
So beautiful to look at. So sweet to smell. So DIFFICULT to paint!!
The many convolutions of a rose's petals turns into a maze which will in turn twist my point of reference. Was I painting here or there??
Roses are indeed a real challenge for me. ( The problem may well be that I tighten up and attempt a flower portrait instead of a nice loose, painterly, floral.)
Anyhoo...Thanks for a great challenge, Carol!
