Rose

Rose

6x6 oil on cradled panel $150

 

Rose with Quinacridone Rose, a good match.  I am enjoying my new colors.  This went through several changes and I may change it again.

 

 

I liked some of the brushwork but the rose was too centered and the leaves too prominent. So

Wipe - out!

 

A wipe-out is actually a good thing.  The ghost image often has promise, the layer of paint makes the next go on smoother and the thin left-over color helps to keep edges soft.
