I am back home now. Yellowstone was breathtakingly beautiful. I took tons of photos. I hope some day I may paint from all of those beautiful references.
This painting was done on the 3rd day of my Jackson Hole workshop. Because I didn't have wifi in side the National Parks, I had to delay the posting of it. This is one of best floral paintings I have ever done. Painting orange colored roses was my first time, but I immediately fall in love with it. I also like the leaves. I don't know the name of those leave, but their color and shape are much of fun for painting. The cool green color of the leaves enhances the flower significantly. I just love it. You can see I hardly painted any rose leaves. Those flowers were from a grocery store. The rose leaves are all folded badly. I can hardly use them for the painting.
You may have noticed that my composition for these kind of floral demo is lack of variation. They are pretty much the same. I am aware of that, but I have do one thing at a time. I am concentrated on dramatize the shapes and texture of the flowers and leaves now. The time will come and I will progress.
This painting is available for purchase.
This is divine! I can see why you loved painting the orange rose - it sings with beauty!
ReplyDeleteSo pleased you had a good trip. Yellowstone and the Rocky Mountains are majestic. The roses are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLucky you! You have been to two of the most beautiful spots in the country...Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. No wonder your painting is so inspired. Love it! Delicate and strong at the same time. I think your leaves are eucalyptus tree leaves. Linda from Tucson
