fading away roses


(6x8)
I put down a wash of yellows and pinks, then tried to negatively paint to find the petals. 
I did some washing out of stems and leaves that I thought were too messy, then painted them back in when the paper was dry.

    This is one of my favorites. Congrats on your nerve in washing out the leaves: that area is now just suggested and isn't pulling attention away from the roses themselves. Excellent work.

    You've really succeeded with this one - the softness, looseness and the beautiful colors, too!

    Love, love, love this. Roses are hard, and you have expressed their beauty perfectly.
