Rosebud

Rosebud is a 11x16 acrylic painting on stretched canvas and to date is my most ambitious painting. I usually do abstracts but wanted to try something more realistic this time. I enjoyed the process so much I will definitely be trying it again soon.
I apologize for the quality of the photo, even taken outside it just won't come out great, maybe because of the black background?

new painting

The sun peeked out for a minute a short time ago and brought my muse with it. Here is the result, an 8x10 acrylic on stretched canvas. I did this using a new (to me) technique and know I will doing more this way. The colors are brighter than they appear here, at least on my screen they look paler than in life. As usual clicking on picture will enlarge it.


This is untitled, always the hardest part for me, so I would love to see suggestions for titles in the comments.

Switching gears a bit, this is a 9x12" acrylic painting done on 140lb watercolor paper. My original idea when beginning this was that after I had finished and it dried, to cut it up into ACEOs. However, now...well I REALLY like this flower I have created and just can't bring myself to cut it, so will rethink things, maybe try prints in a bigger size. Could do the cards as prints also. Maybe a good choice for fabric from Spoonflower too.
