Yellow Rose

My Mother wanted a painting .  I did this for her.

It is a hybrid tea rose unsure of exact cultivar . I tried a grisaille (monochrome painting)  with transparent glazes over the top. That style was standard for generations with oil painting and many today also use that method. I have used this way a few times . This method is  slow progress . I used acrylics on this work of art.  When finished I  put a glaze over the whole thing then varnished it. That made photographing it tough lots of glare. as you can see upper right and various specks all over it.

Acrylic on canvas 10 x 20

Roses another one

This is a similar shape to one  I I did in colored pencil  but did this one in pastels. I have not done flowers with pastels before. I like how it turned out .
