"Rose Hip" oil still life painting.

There is a great grocery store near us called Central Market. In the parking lot they have a lot of Regosa Roses which produce these wonderful Rose Hips. I cut a few off for painting and then went in to see if they had any good Sunflowers...They were right at the end of the season and getting rid of the leftovers....so they gave me a few for free!....Double score!
I wasn't happy with this until I softened all the edges except for the focal point.

Thanks Dianne!; 8:18 AM

I must have seen the same sunflowers you did, and thought what a shame to bundle them all up in a plastic bag to be thrown away. I wish I would have asked for some too. Even with a one inch stem they could be floated and last another couple days--- or even painted! Will we get to see another sunflower painting next?; 10:44 AM
