While I was working on garden paintings this spring, I was inspired to tackle "the oval" yet again. I have pulled this canvas out and worked it at least 4 or 5 times and then put it away again. I've never been quite happy with this oval floral.
The pink roses version shown was the first try. Ironically, this was probably the best one. The roses sit nicely within the curved shape - but I didn't recognize that back then. The subsequent versions (which I didn't take pictures of) gradually filled up the space and the roses got bigger. This white roses version is finally the rendering I have settled on. I do like the addition of the bees and the warm translucent shadows of the white rose petals.
And to prove that I'm done, I'm showing it framed. :)
