A Vase of White Roses 36

Hi there! I've been practicing painting impressionistic roses and various flowers. Today I have a 12" x 12" oil painting to share that was inspired by the current Color Throwdown challenge not only for color but also for subject inspiration:

Here's my take on the beautiful vase full of flowers:

I'm also linking this up with the current Paint Party Friday blog:

Thanks so much for stopping by!

María Alba Negrón 23 said...: Hi Mona,

I have been looking at your paintings from the first day that you began to dabble with them since I am subscribed to your blog and every day that you post one, my jaw drops to the floor! They are STUNNING! When you finish painting and decide the ones that you are going to use to decorate your house, I am willing to make a sacrifice and take the rejects....just saying!

Cariños,
