New painting started

I have been wanting to paint some new rose paintings to use on my greeting cards and to brighten up the house. My husband purchased some stunning spray roses that I just had to paint. The frills and folds of the petals jut drew me in and I knew this was the subject om my next painting.

I photographed them in natural sunlight to get some really strong shadows and highlights.

So far I have been working on the painting for two days. My little girls are also inspired by my painting and keep asking me to let them paint too. So I set up their little table with the box of washable paint and let them have fun too.
