Rose Painting

I have begun painting a large composition of a rose I have in my garden. This painting will be large  with five blooms and some buds. I have painted the first flower which was fully open and the oldest bloom of them all. I have used sennelier paints which are lovely to use. The first flower is finished and I have now stared a fresher bloom. I will draw the leaves after I have painted the roses. The paper is white, I have trouble photographing my paintings.

Iris painting.

In these challenging times it helps to do something creative to keep yourself occupied. I began the Iris painting last year and then for some reason which I can't remember set it aside. Now was the time to finish it. I really enjoyed painting this flower. It is a lot larger than anything I have tackled before but a large brush helped. The peachy pink colours were difficult to make but overall I was pleased with the results. It has spurred me on to paint another large painting. The photos have a blue caste not sure why. I struggle getting good photos of my paintings.
