Abstract Painting of Roses - I Dreamed of Roses


I Dreamed of Roses
24x24 inches, acrylic on canvas

This abstract painting of roses was one of those that came from a true moment of inspiration.  I had this idea of what it could be, how I could do it, and just had to start right away, without premeditation.  

I loaded my brush and began, feeling out the composition with layer upon layer of colour.  It was all about the cornucopia of an overgrown garden, the more intricate the better.  

It was a hot day and the acrylics dried slowly, to the point where I felt like I was working with oils.  My brush seemed to glide effortlessly over the canvas as if it knew my next move. If you look closely at the strokes you can see a multitude of colours in each one, streaming together like ribbons of candy.
