Completed another small painting! Yahoooo!This is a companion piece to the White Peony painting.( both shipped off to my gallery this week!)
I like doing paintings that are companions,related subjects, or just a series. It is a fun way to build up inventory, explore subjects, and practice with the new techniques but in different compositions and light.
I love painting flowers, every now and then I like to do these smaller intimate portraits of them. To me each flower has a personality and it is a fun challenge to try and capture it. I'd like to try a series of weed flowers that grow in our yard and gardens. They are wild, stubborn,independent survivors that deserve a place on the wall.

These have a good, rich sense of felt reality. Very nice.
I hope you do that weed series. They are worthy!
This is beautiful - I love the bud on the top right - the sheen of the vase and the feathery petals. . .
Beautiful, Peter! Delicate . . . soft petals are a lovely contrast to the bold color of the vase.
You really capture the beauty of the rose. Keep painting..it is a blessing to us all!
So beautiful!
