Lo! A Rose

This painting “Lo! A Rose”is another collaboration with Maria Medeiros and is based on her image Secret Words...
Again I did my own interpretation of Maria’s beautiful photo, by painting the rose in a three dimensional style to look as if it were heavily gilded, though I used only earth toned hues made of combinations of blues and reds…written over the surface are the signatures of famous artists in history…you can decipher some of them when you enlarge the image ..
Watercolour on Sennelier Paper…to see the other paintings enlarged click on the images of my collaborations with Maria below…

Karin Taylor
fabulous painting Janis….wow that blurring in the corners is done so well, and considering you don’t use photoshop or anything it’s just amazing how you’ve accomplished this! I’m in awe of you!
Janis Zroback replied
Blurring a painting is easy, with either water or medium…I don’t own photoshop and a trial on a friends computer just drove me crazy…I don’t have the patience…that’s why I don’t do Tshirts…thanks so much Karin…I’m glad you like it.
