2 floral still life paintings, painted from life
Hello,
Two of my latest paintings painted from life.
"The forever roses"
14"x18", Oil on canvas
I had a hard time photographing this on my phone as there was a lot of reflection. Need to get a better photo with a polarizer. Also, the roses are more red than orange, as seen in the photographs.
Delphiniums and Spray roses
12"x16", Oil on canvas
Again, sorry for the reflections on the flowers. Also , the leaves look quite black in the photo but nowhere have i used pure black, all dark green. I've realized from the time I have started painting from life, i have hardly used pure black anywhere organic
Do let me know your suggestions and thank you for taking the time to see my post.

BTW, I hear you about the difficulty taking photos of paintings. Firstly there's the problem of glare and secondly the camera is just not as good as the human eye at picking up subtle gradations in value and the nuances of colour.
that true what you say about the photographs, plus i have so less patience while taking them. That's harming no one but me
