On my way to Bayreuth (pre-Covid) to hear Wagner's operas Tristan and Isolde and Parsifal I stayed with friends in Hamburg. Sitting on their veranda surrounded by climbing roses and honeysuckle, I read the librettos for the operas, painted the roses and dreamt of the feast to come. Both images below are available to download and print on canvas or paper at artsmitten.com
I hang my work around the house in an ever changing art show. Some paintings I never tire of, others are favourites for a while then take a back seat. One painting that never seemed to fit anywhere was 'white roses', painted about a year ago. Something about it didn't work.
Finally a few days ago after a long painting hiatus while I learned Wordpress and rewrote my website, I picked this white rose painting up and put it back on the easel. It currently looks like this. We'll see where it ends.
24/6. And now like this
