I bought a dozen yellow roses to paint but they weren’t opened up enough for what I had in mind so I grabbed these two from the bunch to paint. I like the way the little leaves under the rose on the left look like they’re dancing. This was fun and no pressure, unlike the painting I’m doing of the dozen roses now that they’ve opened up! I do love painting these small paintings but I feel like I need to learn to paint larger, more complicated paintings too. This painting is 8″x10″ oil on canvas.

LOVE the impasto, Joan!!!
So hard for me to force myself to use paint like that!!!
Way to go!!!
Joan, this is BEAUTIFUL!! I completely agree with Marian, the paint application is just so wonderful here. I look forward to seeing the other one too!
very nice handling of brush work and color. True on all your art. Great blog.
Love the way you apply your paint. Great paintings – I look forward to your next post.
Hi Marian, thank you. It took me a long time to finally use lots and lots of paint. I remember someone saying “paint like you’re a millionaire!”
Hi Karen, thank you for your compliment. Well, you won’t see the other one, the large one with lots of roses just didn’t work. 🙁
Hi Gary, Welcome and thank you for stopping by! And thank you for your kind compliments on my art and my blog.
Hi Tammy, welcome to you too and thank you for stopping by! I’m so glad you like my paintings, thank you!
Beautiful use of impasto on these tulips – I’m also drawn to the beautiful shadows and negative space. I’ve never heard that expression “paint like you’re a millionaire”! Love it!!!
