Rose

10 x 16"
pastel on paper
Some days just do not go well. This last painting session included a complete wipe off of a great deal of paint from one panel, an attempt to salvage another upon which I will withhold judgement until another day and an oil sketch from a head study on paper that I will probably discard. So here is a drawing from a little over a year ago that I've always liked. The title could refer to the model's name (which it doesn't) or to the flower she was holding.
If, in fact, we do learn the most from our mistakes, I must have learned a great deal today. Here's to a better day tomorrow.
