Just a quick note today to let everyone know that I am having a Valentine's Day sale in my etsy shop. For the next two weeks I will be offering my four 6x6 flower paintings at a 10% discount. These are the perfect gift, they won't wilt and die or make you sneeze! Here's the
link to the shop section.
Unfortunately, I doubt that I can get them to anyone outside of the US by Valentine's Day, at least not using the postal service. If you live outside of the US, you can contact me directly and we'll discuss other options, such as FedEx and UPS.

I've started working on the pastel I mentioned earlier, based on the photograph posted below. An album of the work thus far can be seen on Facebook. It's been a bit of a struggle, and I am now remembering why I usually avoid roses - they are notoriously difficult for me! Much of the rest of the painting turned out well, and I am especially pleased with the camera. After working and reworking the roses though, I was quite tempted to give up and simply cut the paper in half. But I've decided to give it another try after wiping off the roses and laying down another layer of primer. With all the work that's been put into it, it's become a matter of pride now to finish it.
