It's been an awful year so far and I've struggled to find inspiration to paint anything. But giving up doesn't fix the problem, either, so I gave it a whirl today. This painting is a fanciful tribute to roses, particularly those with flowers of apricot and mixed yellows and pinks. Here, we see an ancient climbing rose cover an arbor in bloom on a rainy day. I kept the background abstract as I experiment with looser painting styles and larger blends or blocks of color. I think it worked out pretty well for a spur-of-the-moment effort to paint something.
Acrylic painting: 14" x 17"
