Painting #5/52





Petite Rose
7x5 Acrylic on Panel
Available at Etsy.com


Before attempting a larger painting, it often helps to create a smaller version first. This allows me to work out the issues of color, design, and composition. Not only will I end up with a better painting, but there is less of a chance of wasting precious art supplies. In this case, I concluded that a single rose is effective for this small format; however, additional roses will be necessary for the larger piece.

I decided to use this 4.5” wide gold picture frame to give this miniature painting a lot of impact. What a difference a frame can make!

Thanks for viewing my artwork ~Eve
