"Patience" 2011 40" x 40" Oil on canvas $750 I have been working on this thing since June, when I got the grand idea to paint the most complicated rose I could find. The petals in the center of the rose took me much longer to paint than I expe... 

 

 

This is my final project for Painting II. I decided to paint roses once again, but I also chose to paint them differently. If you are interested in purchasing this piece, please keep in mind that there is a small hole in the red rose (visible in pic...

I really haven't done a realistic painting of an animal in a long while, so I thought I would try my hand at it again. When I saw the reference photo for this painting, I just HAD to paint it. The poor, young baboon looked so sad in its enclosure, as... 

 

I'm starting to absolutely love painting skyscapes because you can be so free with them! This is just the first in what is sure to be many similar paintings! I can't wait to get started on them!
