Yellow Roses and Lilacs

"Yellow Roses and Lilacs"
9" x 12"
Acrylic on canvas panel
I found these beauties stuffed in a two-pound coffee can, awaiting their transfer to a more elegant vessel. It was a lot like seeing the Sugar Plum Fairy in bowling shoes!  

Unlike the other rose bouquet from yesterday, full sunlight bathed them, and there wasn't much of a blush in the background.

This piece is already sold. It sits on an easel in a lovely "Bed and Breakfast" in Colorado.

Thank you for stopping by today.

    Thanks! It's successful in that 3D way because of the good value differences. It's my ongoing challenge. I struggle with values in every painting. Having come from a watercolor background in an era of pastel colors, I taught myself some pretty bad habits. But now I'm aware of those demons and face them head-on.
