Blooming Color

Blooming Color 6" x 6" oil on board

This was done for the Daily Paintworks paint a rose challenge.

I was a bit of a late bloomer in getting it in on Saturday just before a

new challenge was started.  My first rose went into the compost pile

but I decided to give it another try. 

I find everyday ordinary things that no one really thinks of

as beautiful much less intimidating to paint than something as

exquisite as a rose, a flower that has

inspired poetry and love songs since man has been creating them.

To get over my hang up about it I decided to just have

fun with it and play with the

color and the brushstrokes.

I'm glad I didn't give up!
