The Rose

This painting is a little different than the others I have posted. This is my 24″x36″ rose. I have to say this is one of the more difficult paintings that I have done. I just couldn’t get it the way I wanted it but eventually I accomplished my goal. This piece was commissioned and the owners, my good friends Debbie and Tim are very happy with it. I think it is a great focal point for the room plus you can see the painting from other rooms in their house. According to Debbie, the painting changes color as the light changes throughout the day–pretty cool!

    It looks so realistic from my screen here. I want to go up and smell it. I love the colour of this rose, it is one of my all time favourite rose colours.
    Amazing.

    Very nice. I like the idea that it is the focal point in the room and changes color as the light changes. That IS cool. ;-)

    Thanks everyone for your compliments, this is my second giant flower commission, the first one was a flower painted on four
    16×20 canvases and they can be hung together or spaced apart. I’ll see if I can get a good picture of it and I’ll post it.

    Thanks again, you guys are so sweet,
    Rhonda

    Hi Gina,
    I’m doing better, glad to hear from you. Wish I could take credit for the color scheme, I did paint the rose to match it tho. I’m still working on those curtains.
