Auction: Elusory Rose

Oil on Linen Panel, 7 X 5 inches

About this painting:

Elusory: adjective. Difficult to find, catch or achieve.

Quite apart from the colours of this rose eluding me at times during this painting, the rose itself began to turn almost as soon as I started blocking it in. In some ways, by the end of the painting I was painting a partly imagined memory of what the rose might have been, and perhaps what it was when I first saw it and wanted to paint it.

As much as we’d like permanence, solidity and surety, that too is elusive. Maybe this rose had something to show me.
