Yellow Roses


Hi! I hope you are having a great weekend! Today I have an 8" x 8" oil painting to share featuring yellow roses. I'm trying to take the time to practice painting but sometimes it just doesn't happen.
I'm enjoying the process as I practice in search of my own style. This painting combines strokes and techniques inspired by two of my favorite floral artists: Gary Jenkins and Nancy Medina. 




 For color inspiration, I'm joining along with the Color Throwdown:
and I'm also linking to Paint Party Friday:
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Be Sweet ;)
