SWEET SUMMER

These beautiful roses are from my friend Jewel's garden, the lovely orangey yellowy colours looked amazing with my turquoise vase.  I am finding that when you are painting flowers with layers of petals you just need to suggest the shape without getting too busy with your paint strokes.

I didn't really know where to start with this painting, so many rose petals, deciding which to highlight, or which to leave out. I just dove in and eventually roses emerged.
