"Failing Light"
I watched an artist on TV paint a rose. During the chit chat that goes along with those TV demonstrations the artist commented that "you don't have to paint exactly what is there. Try to paint the most beautiful rose there ever was." I tend to paint florals (and other subjects) that aren't necessarily the "prettiest." Just like with people, the ones that show the wear and tear of life are usually more interesting. I also usually don't paint flowers stuffed into a vase but there have been exceptions. The idea of painting them alive and free to bob in the wind is more appealing.
P.S. Take a look at my redo of www.kenmarsden.com
