Oil Painting white rose open flower head yellow centre


I had one of those days today. I went to get a rose for this painting and was so excited and focused on getting one I forgot to pay the car park. I didn’t remember until I saw a parking fine on my window, very upsetting! So upset I then got lost on the journey home! 
Anyway, I am pleased with this rose painting, it feels a bit of a break through in my flowers. I painted it in a different order and way, from the inside out – see pic below.

I used a new palette today, called ‘Posh Palette’ from New Wave in America it’s super smooth and wonderful to mix my colours on. I’m used to a perspex with white paper underneath, so it will take some adjusting to a mid tone grey but it is lovely to use.
