Happy Easter! With all of the flowers in bloom, it's hard to resist painting them. I had never attempted painting flowers other than in a landscape where they are generalized to a blob or dot. So I decided to start simple instead of a bouquet: A single rose, inspired by a recent visit to The McKinley Rose Garden.
At first, I was overwhelmed by the detail of each petal but then realized that I needed to generalize the details, just like I would in a landscape, to get the gist of the rose. Artistic license is a great thing! Now to paint a dozen roses. . . we will see.
