Rose

Just a short entry today… This is a painting that I did for my mom-in-law (affectionately known as Mommy#2) for her birthday, which was actually just over a month ago – wow it’s taken me that long to add it to my blog – hehe. Moving along…

I painted this from a photograph (one of those free stock photos that comes with Corel X3), since I didn’t have any real roses and I’m not good enough to paint it “out of my head” – yet. I liked the colour and composition and wanted to do something that would go with Mommy#2’s lounge. Thankfully she liked it, so I’m going to do two more to go with it (mostly because it’s much too small on its own); not sure if I’m going to stick to roses or go for other flowers of a similar colour – we’ll see.
