"Red Rose"

Oil painting on linen on board  (18"x12")   October 9, 2011

"I skipped over "Painting In Progress" to paint "Red Rose" today.   The thing that I learned today is that the many linen canvas on boards I have in stock all need a primer coat of gloss paint.  I really like to paint on a slick surface and this isn't it.  I'm not discouraged though, since I'm just happy to be painting again."
