"Rose"



















Oil on canvas - 20" X 20"

This piece won the Patron's Award in the State Flower contest at www.esbq.com

This was interesting to work on because this canvas has been painted on about 4 or 5 times, so it has lots of texture and undertones.

Also, for those of you who didn't know me back when, my maiden name was Rose

Thanks to Teng Tan for belated permission to use the original photo "Rose Close at Heart" http://www.flickr.com/photos/tengtan/ as a reference for this piece.

I did this last night almost like a quick sketch, but with paint. I wanted to keep it really loose and capture some depth.

This is precisely what happens to me when I listen to blues while I paint.
