This was yesterday's project. It is a 12' wooden plate. Since I sold the last rose bowl that I had at the SAAG Gallery I decided to do another rose and thought it would be perfect on this plate. I have painted a large red rose many times in every size canvas from 4foot square to 5X7. I have painted it on bowls and trays and this is the second plate I did. The other one was a 8 inches. I have that one saved to donate to the SAAG monthly give-a-way sometime in the future. Even though I have painted the rose many times for some reason this one seems especially beautiful to me. I will post a few other versions below.
I first had the idea of painting an endless rose that went from border to border in December of 2008. This is the first one that I painted. I'm sorry to say I don't remember who bought it and also how many others I painted in this size over the years. I started to keep better records in the past few years so I do know who bought the last one. It was in January to my friend Randi. Here is the one she owns.
Last June I did a painting demonstration for a fund raiser for SAACA. I did this four foot square canvas in two hours. If you go back through my older posts you will find the story about that event.
