12×24″ oil on canvas panel, second painting in a series of four; contact the artist for purchase information.

Now the block-in stage is complete for this second in a series of four large paintings. Only after the canvas is covered do I start to paint seriously. The joy of oil paint is that is very forgiving of any changes, or corrections. It is creamy, malleable, and sets up slowly, giving one plenty of time to think. The light neutral background will hopefully set off the imagined roses.
