Pink Rose by Vonnie Kohn, small works, floral

Have you ever wanted to receive a dozen roses from an admirer? Roses are my favorite floral subject..also the most challenge for me to paint. I participated in a plein air event at the Dallas Arboretum last Spring and chose to wander into the Rose Garden. I was absolutely enthralled with the many varieties of roses. I didn't know there were so many! This small oil was a result of the many studies I was able to accomplish before leaving. The small gallery wrapped canvas was a perfect surface to work quickly because of the changing light.

Original oil on gallery wrap canvas (needs no frame)...5 x 5"   $100

"Teamwork"

I LOVE horses. I've been riding them & painting them since I was a child. I happened to pass by these two beauties while at a local community outdoor festival. I had been watching them for awhile & finally walked up to the owner to ask permission to photograph them. They have been "partners" for several years now. It takes time and patience to train the right animals to work together in perfect sync. These two fit the role they have been asked to perform.
