Close ups
This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Patricia was the gracious hostess.
I chose those roses this week. My goal was to play with broken edges. This was done by first using brushes...then a paint shaper to move paint and influence the edges...then painting knife. I like the resulting impressionistic and active surface this technique brought about.
This technique was developed by a very sharing blogger Julie Ford Oliver.
C&C welcome. Thanks for taking a peek and I appreciate your comments.

Hi there Dean!... Your rose study is light... lovely... loosely painted... and the lost edges really invite close study and interpretation! Great colour and light as well! A gem!
