Friday's flower studies

 


"Vivre en rose"
13x18cm, Cobra oil on cotton panel
(Private collection, Brussels)

I'm trying to practice painting roses, and bring some color into this bleek period of clouds, corona, covid-19, confinement, ... Always liked Dufy's painting "30 ans, ou La vie en rose” — painted in 1931, 16 years before Edith Piaf released, “La vie en rose”.



“Roses on a doily”
13x18cm, Cobra oil on canvas

For my second recent rose study I used a water-soluble painting medium by Talens that goes with their paints. It makes a difference, especially in the later stages.
