Passionate Rose, Original Oil Painting (fresh off the easel)

Where to purchase Passionate Rose painting!

Passionate Rose Oil Painting on a 16 by 20 inch gallery wrap canvas with edges painted.

I finished this one last week and have been waiting for it to dry and get some good pictures for printing.  The one at left was taken with the paint still a little wet and shiny.  The one on the right (taken later) has less glare and more suitable for printing. I am still experimenting with exposure and lighting to get a better shot to show the dark rich greens in the background.  I have another rose painting on the easel now that is more colorful than this one.  It has been cold and wet so oil paintings are taking longer to dry.

I will put a matte finish on the painting to even out the tone and dull the shiny spots.  This one is still a work-in-progress until the clear top coat finish is on it.

Hope you like the Passionate Rose,

Roses, A Couple of Oil Paintings

Above are a couple of oil paintings I haven't shown on the blog before. These were done as studies in 2007 on 14 x 11 inch gallery wrap canvases.  They are free style 'off the cuff' compositions without use of references.  Painting from photos and sketches prepared me to be able to draw, visualize and create paintings without references.  I hope you enjoy the roses.

God Bless You,

Yellow Rose, Original Painting

Yellow Rose is an oil painting on a 10 x 8 inch gallery wrapped canvas with edges painted.  The background is painted in acrylics with the floral in oils.   I like using mixed media. The acrylics are applied first and allowed to dry before painting over it with oils.  I hope you like the painting.  Should you want to purchase it or other paintings, please email me and I will check availability and send you an invoice.

Cotton Candy Rose Oil Painting

I finished the Cotton Candy Rose today.  I enjoyed toying around with the different shades of pink and reds.  Subtle shadows make the body of a light colored rose pop and I hope I got there in this one.  The background is a very dark green.  I used a photo of the rose to follow as a guide, but I didn't like the leaves in the photo; so I took license to grow some.  My palette in this 16x16 oil was mainly:  white, aliz crimson, red, blue, green lt, sap green, cad yellow lt, red lt, orang, paynes gray, and some I probably forgot.  LOL

The new year has started off well for us.  I hope the same for you.  You are invited to follow my blog and email me if you have any questions.

Happy New Year,

A Valentine's Day Rose

I finished the rose project I posted earlier as a work in progress.  The oil painting was challenging due to the many gradients and reflections in the vase.  The rose is a knockout rose from my wife's garden.  They are pretty hardy little plants and we haven't had a hard freeze here in South Texas yet, so we are still blessed with a few blooms.  The rose stayed fresh inside the studio for several days after the still setting shoot and was also available for reference while painting.  The painting is on a 10 x 20 inch canvas.  The palette:  Permanent Rose, Aliz. Crim., Cad Red, Perm. Grn Lt., Sap Grn, Burnt Siena, Burnt Umber, Van Dyke Brown, Deep Orange, Yellow Ochre, Raw Siena,White and a bit of cad yellow.  And, I may have forgot some.  LOL I will paint the edges of the canvas with burnt umber acylics  and build a floater frame to mount it in when the canvas dries.  I hope to get it all done for valentine's day.  I had a good time painting this one.

Let us pray before we paint,
