Jerry's Roses

11"x14" Oil on stretched canvas.

I finished this painting on August 19, 2012.  Since then, much has happened to keep me away from my easel.   Life happens, doesn't it?  Getting back on the painting track, I look at this painting and wonder if the silver pot being so close to the center is a problem . . . among other painting transgressions I may have committed!  I am submitting this on the "Critique Me Challenge" on Daily Paintworks for some help from other artists.

Plums and Petunias

There are several things about this set-up that I love.  My sister made this little blue bowl, and I have used it in a previous painting.  The plums and cherries were fun to paint, and I love their rich reds.    Hopefully the sporadic tropical winds of TS Debby will not be too harsh on my white petunias, so I can continue to use them as subjects - practice, practice, practice!   Haven't painted brass in quite some time, so patience was called upon to see me through the greenish color of brass.  Thank goodness for highlights that make that brass shine!
