Yellow Roses II
Oil on 10 x 10 linen panel
My second Yellow Rose painting finished yesterday.  I have been diligently perfecting the qualities of the illusive rose.  I have attended two workshops in the last six months taught by master artists and although I have improved considerably, I still have a lot to learn.

I have been painting studies of Roses for a while now.  In this pursuit, I attended a workshop with Michael Klein in New York.  Michael's roses are incredible and although I learned a lot, I still have a long way to go.  My current teacher, Jason Mayr has been very obliging by bringing in roses to class every week and helping us in this endeavor.  Many of us who have subjected ourselves to this difficult task are showing improvement.  Anyway, the challenge continues.

White cup with flowers

Pleasing every day scene like eye-candy.

Brown Pot

One of my favorite pots to paint.  Has an organic feel to it and wonderful coloring.

Turkish Tea Cup

Tapestry in the background echoes the formality of tea in a turkish glass.
