So on a spur of the moment thing, I popped into the local Spar after dropping off my daughter at school and got some roses. I've had a brilliant day setting up the white roses as a still life and painting. Just managed to get the main block in done before school was over. Looking forward to another day painting tomorrow - hoping that they flowers haven't changed shape too much – the leaves on the flat surface had flattened by the end of today!

Thank you Marjorie and Tessa. I've made slow progress today. The flowers had opened up lots so I had to rely on memory combined with what I see. Unfortunately I mainly worked on the vase and background, leaving time to develop only one of the flowers (hopefully it's obvious which one!)
I may be relying on photo reference for the finish as I don't get tuime to paint on weekends.

Day 3 - A rose has temporarily gone - it wasn't working (and I messed up painting it). I am now working from photo reference, which isn't as much fun and I have got to the stage that I want to just move on so I'm going to let it simmer for a few days and come back to it. I think the missing rose needs to be at a more dynamic angle so its not all too upright?
