Sally Holmes, Budding and Blooming

This painting challenged me by it's size and complexity. Every spring I fall in love with the roses in my yard, so I go at it with brush and paint...excited and then exhausted! I am very happy with this painting, it captures the unruly force of spring growth.

My posts have been irregular for several reasons; Open Studios took a lot of time and all my space for 2 weeks,  and also I am working on two commissions, which I will share with you if I have permission of the collectors. I enjoy doing commissions, it means new ideas...
