Gloria J Zucaro's "Peaches & Cream"

Original Oil on Linen sheet.  Frameable area 6 1/2 inches square
$35.00  $7.00 S&H

This is my entry for the Daily Paintworks challenge of the week of painting roses. http://dailypaintworks.com/Challenges  There are lots of beautiful roses to see from this challenge!  
As you probably have guessed, one of my favorite colors is tangerine.  I especially love those roses that start out with a rosy bud and then turn a beautiful apricot color when mature.  This is also my entry for Paint Party Friday, since I am having company tomorrow and won't have time to post again then.  http://paintpartyfriday.blogspot.com/  Happy PPF and have a nice weekend everyone.  I can't believe it is almost time for the kids to go back to school!

  9. The colors and the texture in this piece are really great. I have a hard time with texture, always end up smoothing it out. Have to work on that.

  19. Your painting is beautiful. I love the combination of colors that you used.

    Thank you for sharing what you learned at your pastel class. I am going to see what happens when I begin with hard pastels and move to soft as your instructor suggested.

    Have a great week.
