Yellow Roses



Not sure where you are right now but here in Lake Forest Park, WA it's rainy, cold and very windy. I had made a promise to try painting flowers in bright colors to off set the day. Now that we are going into a serious winter mode I plan on also using the time for study.

Most of my paintings are landscape, seascape and still life subject matter. My plan is to work on paintings that don't come quite so easy. This includes portraits, figures and buildings. I do believe we get a mind set of what we can and cannot do instead of just practicing what takes more time, thought and energy. I'll keep you posted on how this works out. So, what are you going to do besides cuddling up to the fireplace with a box of bonbons? Of course I want to know...so write!

  1. Hi Blanche - I thought I had commented on this...strange. Age related memory... maybe?
    Love the yellow roses. My fav color of roses.
    It is great the way you captured the light hitting the main rose.
    I try all different subject matter for the classes but admit to painting things close to my heart for my blog.
