5.5" x 6"
This painting may look quick, but it took me the better part of two days. I often add detail, then take it out if I think it gets in the way of the main idea. As happens too often, when I first finished the painting I felt disappointed, but a couple days later realized it's not so bad.

Fresh composition, sparkling contrasts, and wonderfully blocked and chunky brushwork.
Love this - especially the luminous quality of the rose. Really beautiful!
The color combinations and their various values are so unique --loose brushwork may look quickly applied but the subtleties in this painting seem difficult to acheive--very lovely and worthy of a larger canvas.
What an interesting idea to put the rose in a glass of water. Is it just me or is this a symbolic image that means more? It could be my present situation but it is extremely heartbreaking :(
Nice job as usual.
Beautiful colors. Love the freshness!
Thanks for the nice comments. Ron, your comment actually made me think harder about this piece. I've had some heartache recently, and I wouldn't be surprised if this is a reaction.
