The Last Rose of Summer No. 8
May 14, 2012
Hi All Artists Hearts,
Just a quick update to bring you up to speed on the delay in posting the final stage of The Last Rose of Summer. I need to wait for final approval as agreed upon with the photographer who gave me permission to use his wonderful picture for my painting. Once I receive word I will post the final painting here in this specific posting (no.8) and will notify everyone at that time.
In the meantime, I will start a new series called "Home Sweet Home-Finch's Garden." The first post will appear later this week. It is a slight departure from photo realistic, but not entirely. It is somewhat whimsical as well. It is a fun painting and I hope you enjoy it as much as I am in painting it and telling the story of a moment in the life of a little Purple Finch enjoying his own little beauty-filled haven.
This sweet little composition in an oval format was created to celebrate my Mother's 90th birthday being celebrated this month. It features a number of textures.... old wood timber, feathers, atmospheric perspective and the delicacy of rose petals and sunlight. Watch for it and follow along.
Until later have a great week and stay inspired.
Blessings,
Jan.

So, I thought you might find some of my study notes interesting and help you understand the uniqueness of this beautiful and amazing insect and why I chose this species.
