Painted this yesterday as my second response to the Daily Paintworks rose challenge.  I'm going to paint one more today before moving on to something else.  I want to keep working on loosening up and getting more light into my paintings.  I'm much happier with both of these roses than my first attempt.  Always a big learning curve with painting....which is part of what I love about it.
