Late Summer Roses

 

I've been trying to perfect a technique that stretches my ability quite a bit. The idea is to not draw anything, no pencil sketch first, but just go ahead and paint the image without guidelines. I really don't know where this came from but I have to say it is challenging and I enjoy it. Using a photo from my daughter Tracy's garden and a blank piece of watercolor paper I proceeded to create this painting. It's a good feeling to just work eye to hand. I'm happy with the end results so I'll continue to pursue this goal.
