One Pink Rose

Oil on Panel 7 x 5 inches

This painting is on a hardboard panel - acid free and archival.

It’s easy sometimes to feel like you’re not making much progress. At times like that, it helps to look back over old work and compare what you were doing a while ago with what you’re doing now. It’s so easy to forget.

I’ve been painting roses for a while now, so I have lots of opportunities for comparison. What strikes me when I look at some of my older ones is how my process is changing slowly over time. You don’t see it happening day to day, so it’s a good idea sometimes to look back and see what’s changed. Christmas seems like a particularly good time to do that.

This is my last painting before Christmas 2016 - I’m officially on holiday now for the next three days, back at the easel on Tuesday!

Hope you like this one.

How to bid

Just click the "bid here" link above and enter your name, email (this will be kept private) and the amount you want to bid.

The auction uses proxy bidding, which means you can set a Maximum Bid, and until that's reached, you're protected from being outbid. So if Bidder A places a Maximum Bid of $200 and Bidder B comes along to try and outbid A, A will be protected till B outbids A over $200.

You’ll be notified of any other bids and whether you’ve won the auction by email automatically. If you win the auction, I’ll send you an email with a link to pay by PayPal.

PLEASE NOTE: As the auction comes to a close, you’ll need to refresh the page to see the latest bids. It may look as if you’ve won when the countdown finishes, but you’ll only see the most recent bids if you refresh the page, so there may have been more bids that you’re not seeing!
