Paint Party Friday- May 6
Hooray- it's Friday and you know what that means- time for Paint Party Friday! I know I said a few posts ago that I was going to work on a tulip next, but this rose got in my head and just would NOT leave! So here is my current WIP- it's from a picture I took last year of Perle D'or, the rose on my mailbox. This rose gives and gives and gives! It is always the first to bloom and as long as I remove the spent flowers, it keeps blooming until the first freeze, usually in November! I LOVE it!
The only drawback is that it isn't an especially good cut flower, as the blooms only last a couple of days. BUT, just look at the shape of those petals!
And here is the reference I'm using:
Be sure to pop over to Paint Party Friday- there's always so much beautiful work to see!
Happy PPF,
Stephanie

Beautiful rose and your painting is looking great.
Lovely rose and looking forward to the finished piece. :)
I just love seeing your WIP's. I get excited to see how you'll move on it next. This one is off to a beautiful start.

I'm not normally a huge fan of roses, as far as flowers go, but this one is a beauty! It seems so much more unstructured than most roses with their tightly wound petals (even when open). This is looking brilliant so far and I can't wait to see how it progresses. Your backgrounds are always so appealing as well!
I love seeing your work in progress! Can't wait to see the finished painting. It's lovely already.
I love your WIP post....love seeing just what inspires you and what begins the painting!!!
Hugs my friend ^_^
It's looking wonderful! I can't wait to see it finished. I love how you describe it as the rose that gives and gives. Not only to you, but to us here too! Happy PPF.

OMG...your rose painting is amazing. The color and the details are wonderful. beautiful, gerri
Lovely rose, did you do the whole background and add white where the rose would be, or did you paint aroung the rose first?
I got Priti Lisa's "sketchbook", wow, I'm not sure what I'm putting in it for May yet!
Simply beautiful! Great start and I wan't to see it when finished.
Beautiful! I love the progression of the painting. Thank you for sharing!
Very nice rose, both of them. Thanks for sharing the progression of your wip. It's always fun. Happy PPF!
I love roses and your wip is beautiful.
Both the rose and your painting are beautiful. You really captured its beauty very well. I'd love to have a rose like that at my mailbox!
Hi Stephanie, WOW!!!!!! This rose is beautiful already. When I saw the photo in the last picture of the actual flower it really showed how much detail you have captured it's beautiful and I love that choice of background colour too. Can't wait to see this one finished it's beautiful already well done!!! :0)
WOW!!What a beautiful rose..both in reality and in paint...can't wait to see the finished piece. I really want to give painting flowers a go on a big scale...just need some blooms to burst in the garden first! Thankyou for the inspiration :)x
What a gorgeous rose both the real one and your painting. You are doing a fabulous job with the rose it will be divine.
Sweet and ethereal. It looks as if it is made of clouds and fairies´ skirts. Dreamy.
Thank you fro the progress shots. I'm going to try watercolor this summer, and I'm looking at every step-by-step I can find. I wish the bud was in the frame! Beautiful work!
I love the richness you achieved with the layers of color. Watercolor is a difficult medium and you die this rose beautifully!!
that rose is a beauty! Does it have a good scent? I find so few modern roses that really have a wonderful strong rose scent that i rarely buy new bushes for the garden. Happy PPF!
WOW!
HMD and I am sorry I am so behind...scurrying like a hamster...
You, my friend, are an inspiration. I mean that.

A rose never looked so sweet. Beautiful even before its finished.
Wish I could have played along this week but life gets in the way sometimes!
hugs Lynn
BEAUTIFUL work in progress. Thank you for sharing your creative steps. Belated Happy PPF!

Congratulations on a wonderful auction!
