Daily Painting - Pink Rose

Pink Rose - Painting number 31
Daily Painting - Original Oil Painting on Oil Paper 7x5 inches.
Work in Progress
After yesterday's attempt at painting a rose I swore I would never paint another rose ever ever again, as I found it so unbelievably tricky. 
But then today, the sun was shining beautifully on my vase of flowers and making the pink rose's petals fabulously translucent and I felt that it would be a sin not to try and capture it.
Well...I was right, I should never have tried to paint another rose. 
Today has been pure painting hell. I didn't enjoy a single minute of it. I now feel absolute relief that it's finally over but I have back ache and a headache for my troubles. You see, I just couldn't get that translucent sunlight effect right, no matter how hard I tried. I have spent all day painting this tiny little oil and would now like to burn it. AHHHHHHHH.

I am currently studying the techniques of the Master painters and needed a way to practice techniques before applying them to my big pieces, h ence, daily painting studies.  I also really need the discipline. Life can be hectic and it's not easy to force yourself to paint every single day.  Sometimes you just want to put your feet up and numb yourself with television. I am going to think of daily painting like walking a dog.  If you have a dog you have to walk it, come rain or shine, no matter how you feel.  That dog needs walking.

Landscape with Alien ship re-visited

Original Oil  Painting  on Oil Paper 20x16 inches. I re-visited this painting as I didn't like the original at all...not a single bit.  I asked my sister to help point out where I'd gone wrong. She said to let it go as the painting simply wasn't my style.  She then decided it would look better with a spaceship  and stuck one on. Then added a tiny cow caught in a death ray. Now I love it 😂
