Sometimes I am inspired by another artist's painting, try to do something "like" it, and end up nowhere even close! I really liked yesterday's flower painting by Carolee Clark. Specifically I liked the mosaic effect. So today I shot for more of a mosaic-y feel. I'm not sure I quite got there, but I do like the result. Along with less guilt (yesterday's post) I am also shooting for more experimentation and risk. If I look back at the things I've done in the past that ended up being pretty cool, they all came from stepping out of my comfort zone and taking risks. I vow to be more daring! I've gotten way too comfortable!

This is fabulous Carol! Love it!
such lovely peachy interior colors and great sense of bright sunlight!
Oh, what a beauty! A true crowd stopper. :)
Oh, Carol, this rose is amazing! Such luminous light! I have to admit i rarely have the time to open your blog post emails (or 80% of the rest in my inbox) but tonight i think i struck it lucky! I love what you're saying about taking risks. That's so true. And even though this doesn't really look 'mosaic-y', you've caught the colors and vibrancy of this flower perfectly. And I love the 'in-your-face' composition. I can almost smell it!
Carol, this is SO striking! the light is phenomenal...the strokes, pure. wOw.

It's beautiful and still very you!
This is wonderful , the variations of color and value really keep my eyes moving through it.
You are so right about stepping out of CZ.
Like Patti Mollica says " Life begins at the end of your comfort zone".
This is yummy!
Yet if I could paint flowers like you I would! :)
Yumm! Really like this one.
Love it! Keep having fun! I can especially appreciate this since I have some yellow roses in a vase on my kitchen table. You capture the subtlety of color and shape so well.

You do such a great job with roses, I have painted a few and find them pretty challenging. That's a reason to paint them, right?
The coral is just so pretty.. Simple yet elegant..
Just great!
Wow, love the colors and the luminous quality you captured. If it was a risk I would say it was a risk worth taking.
