Violaceous Velvet

"Violaceous Velvet"
12" x 12" 
Oil on wrapped canvas
Her petals unfurled from the tight, yellow bud at her core, to the violaceous milkiness of her velvety corolla. 

It's been months since I've painted a rose, but not for lack of interest. I got bogged down in landscapes and house portraits, but today my heart needed to be involved with my favorite subject matter, no matter what.

      Thank you, Daria. I loved painting this one, after a long time away from whorled petals.

      Thank you, Julie. I hadn't realized it had been so long since I painted one. I had a one person show of 35 of them this summer, and roses were all I thought about for a while. It wasn't until I went to post, did I realize it had been since April.

      Thank you, honey. I don't suppose her being purple has anything to do with it :-)
