A Dozen Painted Roses...

in art •  7 years ago  (edited)

For Valentine's Day and for practice for an upcoming commission, I thought it would be appropriate to paint a dozen roses. At first I started with the classic red, but then I started manipulating the colors as I continued to paint them. These are all acrylics on canvas panel.

I snagged a few process photos:

I started about half of them with a drawing, but I also just went for it with paint as I got more comfortable with the puzzle of the petals. I also painted a number of smaller 5"x5" roses when I found these frames!

And here are the 5"x7" roses I painted. Love these frames too!

These are all for sale! The 5"x5" are $65, 5"x7" are $75, and 8"x10" are $110, shipping included in the US. You can find these on my website store here. I'd accept crypto too if you wanted to email me at [email protected]. Hope you like them! They were a lot of fun to paint!

Thanks for looking!
