I am still having a blast in San Fran, but will be back home tomorrow. Meanwhile, this rose. I am so so so happy with this. It came about slowly. First I got obsessed with taking close-up pictures of roses, randomly. I had this vague idea of maybe doing some large rose paintings, someday. And then one morning last week I woke up and an image of a very abstract rose popped into my head. I ran into my studio to paint it, but it wasn't working out, so I painted this. Which I love. Did I say that already?

Carol, This is a lovely painting and a lovely new direction. Beautiful!
LOVE IT! the rose glows and is illuminated!
Nice Work!!!!
An exquisite balance of abstraction and realism! Even though it radiates a surreal and dreamy quality, I can nonetheless smell that velvety rose...
This is beautiful with wonderful abstract elements. Hope you had a good weekend in SF!
Lovely Carol!... Even if you say it twice!
Love, love it. Just wondering ... why haven't you posted the 2013 San Antonio TX workshop? It's still happening? I sure hope so !!!
Preciosa rosa, casi llego a apreciar su olor; me gusta mucho.
I just keep lovin your work Carol...beautiful!!
What a beautiful surprise! Love this little gem!
Wow! Just beautiful!
I love it too!! It's glowy and colorful. One of my all time favorites I think!
Absolutely gorgeous!!
Beautiful Carol! Wonderful color. Not usually a fan of oversized images, but I think this would make a great, large, almost abstract painting.
Very Beautiful close up! You have captured the softness of the petals wonderfully.
I love it too. I love how the center is a saturated color and you grayed the outer petals. It's yummy.
Wow, love it too Carol! Do more. Let's paint some roses in Santa Fe. Can't wait for our group paint-a-thon and your workshop.
I love it too! ..Look forward to seeing more like this :)
You should love it...it's gorgeous!
This is amazing!! I like the glow, and the light, and the pleasing colors. Awesome!
been thinking about you.
Love this, too.
Rich colors and it 'feels' like you were into it.
Hugs to all of you :D
So pretty! I've been working on fruit still lifes, your rose makes me want to get back to flowers!
Super, super nice.
This is a striking painting - I am particularly enjoying the reflective grayish/blueish light in the top left and right - well done!
It´s so lovely! And like real.
I LOVE this rose! You are so good! I live in Scotland and with no chance of ever getting to one of your workshops. I buy your artbytes which are wonderful! Keep on painting and inspiring me!
Love this too! Beautiful color and design.
Carol,
LOVE the rose! I think I'd like to see more of these!
OMG This is utterly amazing. Wow!
Gorgeous, Carol! Your inner Georgia O'Keefe snuck out!
You captured the essence of the petals. I think I can smell it!
That is a REALLY nice painting. I don't think I've seen you do a macro viewpoint before and it's such a perfect solution for for this subject. Art tutorial on how you think through composition?
This is different from your usual stuff, but I really like it!
It's gorgeous Carol!! Love the color, darker center and the lighter outer sections. Some paintings just evolve in their own time. This was worth the wait!!
