The petals of these roses are hiding their faces from all that view them.  You can feel how shy they are feeling from the way they position themselves in the vase.  Can you feel it? This painting is suppose to make you feel the calm, quiet of the day and how shy they must be.

With Love - A Floral Bouquet by Judy Mackey

"With Love"

8 x 6 inches, Oil on Board

Available for purchase, click here.

A few weeks ago, my doorbell rang and a lady delivery person asked me my name then handed me this lovely bouquet.  Full of pink roses, carnations, stocks, heathers and big yellow lilies.  Oh how I love delivered flowers  for no special occasion but just to be told "I'm thinking of you".

Click the image on the blog to really study this one, a demo for the Western Art Academy students today. I spent about 45 minutes so far, not counting my "yak" time...Lots of teaching points made, here:
1. when you have a very grainy and poorly primed canvas (like this one), it is best to tone it.
2. mixing color on a white palette can cause you to mix higher (lighter) values than you mean to. Pay attention to this, especially later on in your painting, when you have nearly covered the white canvas....it's better to mix darker values of color than lighter ones....easier to adjust.
My palette here is white, but at home I work on a neutral medium gray palette.
3. STUDENT "AHA" MOMENT of the day: "Hey! I can paint and talk at the same time!!"
---it's really nearly impossible to DESIGN or COMPOSE and talk conversationally....anyone know why???
