Dueling roses #120

      I found this at the grocery store today and decided I needed to challenge myself.   I was not happy with my attempt at them about 2 or 3 months ago.
    The rose is definitely the most difficult of all flowers for me to paint.  I'm gonna keep trying til I get it, though.    Bigger and bigger brushes are something I'm working on !
     As you can see, I did give it 2 tries !! ha ha

Oakleaf Hydrangeas Painting #45

     Love the colors on these oakleaf hydrangea blossoms.  Paired here with some pale pink roses..... HOT HOT HOT DAY today.... hottest day in St. Louis since 1931 !

Orange Coneflowers Painting #43

 

     I planted these orange coneflowers 2 years ago, not expecting too much.  This year, they've actually come up very pretty.... Love the variation, because I have the traditional reddish ones too.
