A ROSE IS A ROSE
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'A Rose is a Rose'
Oil  6 x 6

I painted this for Lela Stankovik's Paint and Draw Challenge.
If you have a moment to check out the link, I hope you will. 
What I like about these challenges is seeing all of the different
interpretations that are posted by each participating artist,
even though everyone is working from the same photograph.
The breadth of creativity and uniqueness of each painting is what
is so incredible.

interested in purchasing any of my paintings you see
here on this blog, please contact me.

I like the soft treatment. The "motion" of the background really is an extention of the rose; it looks softly energized. And the water drops are fab!

Such a treat to see 3 wonderful artists' "spins" on the same image--all decidedly their own.

Having just painted the same image I am delighted to see your rendition. You always have a delicate touch to your painting and your treatment of this rose is beautiful.

Beautiful! My grandfather raised all different kinds of roses and I just love them..
