This was another painting done on my recent trip to France. White roses picked from the garden of the Gite where we stayed.
Starting from the centre of one rose I worked outwards developing each petal as I went, adding foliage along the way. By turning the rose in my hand I could get different views. I prefer to work this way with flowers rather than draw them first, they have a different kind of freedom with a more natural look.
They were actually white roses, but I decided to add colour to them, after all, white isn't always white.

Hi Cindi....No news yet..
Thank you so much, I guess we all see things we don't like in our work, always wanting to be that much better I suppose. Your words really mean a lot.
Thanks again
