Summer Red Rose Day

I'm missing the bright summer days when the roses are in full bloom and the air is sweet with the scent of roses. This is a rose I painted on such a day, so that in the dreary winter days I can remember that time will bring back the summer red roses again. This was painted by hand using a Wacom art tablet and wireless stylus pen. It attaches to your computer. I used Painter IX software to pain this. I used mostly air brushes and some pastels with blenders to make this painting. It is not a manipulated photo of a rose. I started with a blank canvas/screen. I will be adding more roses as I finish them. I like to take my time and go back and relook at my work after a while to see it with fresh eyes. It helps me to create a better painting.

Beautiful imagery Terry :)

Artist Reply: Thank you! I worked on the rose as the center point, so less details on the background leaves. Spotted my citris trees starting to bloom. It will smell wonderful around a week from the blossoms. It will hold me until the roses bloom.
