I started this one with the background, painting around the flower and trying to work all the areas at the same time, in a workshop with Rae Andrews this spring. The rose bud was from a photo that begged to be painted. Allowing the breathing space around parts of the flower seemed to help achieve the feeling of joy spilling forth.
This painting and 16 others are on display at my current exhibit in Bastrop, Texas. First Friday is a fun event in which many different artists are featured in shops and galleries in an Art Walk along historic Main Street. See the sidebar for details. Hope to see some of you there!
