It's December 30th and I think this will be my last post of the year. I'm getting ready to take a short trip to the Los Angeles area and I won't be back for a few days.
I started this composition very simply; just the knobby blue glass and the yellow roses. It didn't feel right so I included the foreground red rose. That left the right side of the glass feeling too stiff, so I added another red rose behind the glass to balance it and carry the red through the glass to enhance the transparency. A lot of adjustments for such a small painting. (I think I've got about three paintings here)
