Roses9 in x 12in, oil on canvas
One thing I noticed tonight while painting, I had trouble seeing with the glare from the lights. I think I may need to move beyond holding the canvas in my hand to having an easel...does anyone have any ideas on how to make a cheap easel? Just something to hold up a stretched canvas?
I'm going to go read about oil painting and learn something...

Challenging subject choice Rose, but the looseness shows that you are becoming more comfortable with the medium.
I like roses, but they have to be scented but to paint one, for me, is torture :). Then again, I'm not a flower artist.
I love the colors you chose to do this piece.
How about a table easel? They're fairly cheap
Or maybe put up one of those pin boards and tack your canvas down to that? I know lots of people work straight on the wall.

This painting has a lovely quality, Rose. There is a beautiful combination of dimension, colour and light. Keep going, oils scare the daylights out of me too and I've never had the courage to take brush to canvas in the loose way you are. When I go back to my oil class in October, I'm going to take you along in my mind to give me courage :)
