About my paintings Continued... I then need to pull back just to get back to my day-to-day perspective. This process can be so intimate - so close - that the rose form becomes an abstraction. I paint red roses differently. A red rose can represent love or it can simply be one of the most beautiful forms nature has to offer
In general my roses and irises are portraits. I am a serious student of
Rembrandt,
Renoir, and John Singer Sargent. The colored area and shadows of the
white rose painting comes directly from studies of Renoir's woman's
faces in many of his paintings. What cannot be seen in photos are the
micro paint applications of reds, violets, oranges and yellows and
blues in the rose image shown above.. |
What you will find in this gallery Continued...  As you might see, the yellow rose on the left is very similar to
the red rose above. I found this particular view of this rose to be so
intimate - so amazing for me to paint that I painted two versions of
the same rose.I do not limit my paintings to roses. As you can see other, flowers like the graceful Calla Lilly (above) are also subjects I have enjoyed exploring. I offer my paintings in two ways. The first and most common is through commissions. To see more information on commissions please see my page on commissions. Thee second way to find some of my paintings is through selected galleries.
