Well, Fellow Bloggers, Followers, Friends and Peanut Gallery
I need your opinion! Two Rose Paintings
Which One (I won't tell you which one I like and don't)
Any comments feedback that you have would be greatly appreciated!
Roses #1
sold
or
Roses # 2
sold
Both are done on 4"x4" canvases No.1 is smooth no texture
No. 2 has lots of texture (globs of paint actually)
"There is nothing more difficult for a truly creative painter than to paint a rose, because before he can do so he has first to forget all the roses that were ever painted."
Henri Matisse
I Pick #2!! But they are both beautiful like you!
ReplyDeleteThe Peanut Gallery over here all like #2!
ReplyDeleteI love the rose #2, and I agree with your daughter......:) keep up the great works of art....
ReplyDelete#2 has more depth, and that's what I like about it. It's not so much a texture thing, I don't think.
ReplyDeleteWell! Everyone picked #2. I thought the first one was better. But I played more with the paint on the second. Whose to say? I guess the lesson is what I like doesn't mean that the observer will like too. thanks for the feedback guys:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment JAckie! Really cold here now in France, guess it must be about -8? Bet that sounds like Summer to you. Bythe way I particularly like this one, No 2, with the thick impasto paint. Because it has more emotion and shows confidence, the first looks too careful.
ReplyDeleteBut thats only my opinion.
