"Study of a Red Rose"

Whenever I challenge myself with a study of an object, I want to learn more about how it is shaped and created. But usually it's not enough. If I really want to understand what I paint or draw, I have to look at it as an element of the entire universe. When you think about it, that's what it really is. Everything you look at is a piece of this amazing creation, a piece that fits perfectly into this universe's order.
This thought is always humbling for me, and as I continue my study, I notice that I learn not only to depict things more accurately, but also to respect the world around me.



"Study of a Red Rose", 17x23 cm, oil on board

See you next Monday!

    I am looking at the petals and thinking I could reach out and pick them. How stunning and real and you captured it all my dear. Beautiful Painting.
