Imagining Flowers 2

That one soft pink rose gives me hope for the future floral oils!! Will try again in the summer.

The first time I have painted in oils for ...years. I only liked a small portion of the larger piece and so I harvested that and here it is. What a mess and so many bad smells from the turpentine. Very different from our beloved watercolor!!

I'm still remembering painting this in oils (the first one in years) this summer on the patio. What a mess and only a small portion really worked so I photo'd that part and then used some computer "color" to help bring out the image. What a job!!! I think I'm back to watercolors, acrylics and gouache....with lots of ink drawings in the mix.

Thanks you so much, Sorin. This is the first time I have painted with oils in years.

This was my bouquet for Thanksgiving! Hope you are having a beautiful day. We are in Dallas with my sister, her husband and her three cats. My son is here from New Hampshire also. So wonderful!!!! Turkey in the oven.....!!!

Thank you so much for visiting my art and for this lovely comment!

Am hoping to have time to explore oils! I've really skirted the issue for years....and I'm getting curious at last. Thanks for all of your good words!!
