Mixed Rose Bouquet II in Progress

My roses have now died, my bowl is still floating and my surface (cloth) needs more dark values.  I'm not sure whether I'll put the corner of the table in or paint the edge of the table straight across.  I'm thinking about adding a little of the cloth decoration.  I have realized that I have the roses way to focused and the edges are too severe,  and I haven't honored the focal area.  I squeezed the top rose in while I should have let it go out of the picture and now all of them are too crowded......I think the roses "grew" before they died (laugh).  Many decisions I have to make while I'm painting on some other things, and then to make things worse....I place guilt trips on myself for not posting often enough.....who told me to post often....myself, of course.

I need to have a dialogue with someone else!  Hope my husband is ready when he comes in this evening:)

16x20 Original Oil Painting on Canvas

by

Cheri Wollenberg

This is an original oil painting that features five patterned and colorful, little-girl jumper dresses hanging on a clothesline. The inspiration for it came from a fellow etsy seller. Lauren was gracious enough to give me permission to paint it. It reminds me of my mother's clothes line. There were lots of girls in our home. I was especially drawn to the different patterns and colors of these little clothes. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did painting it. Please look up OriginalsbyLaurenToo (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7994230) on etsy. She is a fantastic seamstress. Her clothing line for little girls is a treasure to find.






I sell giclee prints of this painting on etsy (http://www.chatterboxart.etsy.com/) under the description of Lauren's Laundry. To buy the original you may contact me at that link or contact me through my blog.
