This was a rose I got for myself a while back from the Malden T station, where really affordable bouquets were sold from a flower stand. I loved the orange yellow pedals that had a pink glow to it at the same time. The object of this painting was not to capture detail, but an overall sense of layer and pedal and color shades. Admittedly it could use a few more hard edges, but I thought the yellow highlights were well-placed. Next time I look forward to painting from a real rose as opposed to from a photo. It's one of those subjects that allows me to practice similar techniques, hold space to explore new ones, yet still come out unique and satisfying most of the time.
