Painting Roses

After dinner this evening I decided to paint on canvas. My subject was a beautiful pink rose. The canvas is 20x24 in. I put a base coat down and tomorrow I'll put in more detail, with more colors, shadows and highlights. The rose is large and takes up most of the canvas. It reminds me of the style Georgia O'Keefe often painted in. Oh, if only I painted as well. I love roses. There is not one color which I prefer. I find them all to be beautiful. An interesting thing happened while I was painting. I thought of a subject for my next painting. Can't wait until the Pink Rose is done.
