Feeling Rosy

Do you love roses?  I have always had a fascination with them.  The soft petals, the delicate scent and complex layering of petals as they follow around a semi-circular shape.  This piece was designed as part of a series when I began to study abstract realism. I had at the skill to paint realistically, and I wanted to explore abstract.  It is a different process than painting a portrait, or a landscape.  I find this style fun to paint and fun to view.
