Freshly Picked by Julie Riker

11x14
oil on canvas
I painted this earlier in the year. I was so happy when my rose bush produced this one yellow rose that I had to pick it and paint it right away. This painting is currently showing in the Harrisburg Art Association's member show. The theme of the show is "The Green Zone" and I felt this fit. I saw several other Daily Painters' works in the show as well.

Really nice to meet you Julie. I lied the small plein air painting of the river.

Thank you everyone! It was so nice to see everyone (Bertie we missed you!) at the capitol today. When I got home there was a message that, in fact, this painting did win an award in the show. I was suprised and delighted with that news!
