Toned

"Toned"
20" x 20"
Oil on wrapped canvas




"Toned "is hardly a romantic, floral title, but it's all I thought about while I was painting her. I toned my canvas with burnt umber and set out to paint a white rose. But the umber kept bleeding through, even though I coated and wiped it off yesterday!  This white rose has an overall color that I can't describe, or I would have titled it differently. 
 
I'll post her this way, but I may tweak her with glazes of other colors if I absolutely can't tolerate her when she's completely dry.  

And you thought I knew what I was doing.  Ha!
