I took a few liberties with this one ― it’s really more of an abstract impression of a rose.
As you probably know, every rose colour has a meaning, and peach-coloured roses can mean gratitude or appreciation — hence the title of this mini canvas : )
I finished my galah painting over the weekend and finally uploaded the photos this morning. There are so many layers of paint on it (which I hope you can see in the close-up below) that I’ll have to wait a few days for it to dry properly before varnishing it. I posted the reference photograph and sketch here last week.
P.S. This is what became of the blank canvas featured in December’s Anything can happen… post.

The little painting with a lot of texture (a lot of texture!) — based on an acrylic study originally posted here.
Below are a few snaps I took of our little market on Saturday ― by all accounts, a successful day. We’ll be popping up again on December 13th and 20th… plenty of time to paint a few more mini macro roses : )
I painted this little yellow rose especially for last weekend’s pop-up mini market ― it sold before it even got to the table! If the rose looks familiar, that may be because it’s based on a photograph I posted earlier in the year.
I do have a few photos of the market to show you — in my next post…
