Nora I find it amazing how you paint so often and produce such beautiful paintings. Both the roses in this one and the last one have such glorious colors. Happy New Year

Did you ever study under Richard Schmid? This painting reminds me of his style. Its a bit looser and bolder, but has some of his same awesome feeling. Its lovely!

I'm late with this comment because I'm still learning how to do them.
Thanks, Nora. I've been missing you and not knowing you were leaving a comment.

Susan, Richard Schmid was my idol when I first started painting 23 years ago. I have a demo that I bought at The Palette & Chissel in 1990 of Richards'. The audio doesn't match the vidio and he is giving his notes that he later published in his book. I probably know them by heart because I played the VCR while I painted all day and soaked up his words.

lol. Funny how I picked up on that... Your work is beautiful! You found your own voice by exploring another's art you loved. This makes me tingle all over! Happy painting.
