More Roses from the Golden Gate Rose Garden in San Francisco, CA. I love the play of warm and cool colors on these roses.

from Original 18" x 24" Acrylic Painting on Canvas by Naomi Schechter. Based on flower I photographed in the Golden Gate Rose Garden. Standing strong against the sky, this new rose just begged to be preserved in a painting.

It took several weeks to paint this rose oil painting. You can see a demonstration on my art technique blog www.iloveartsupplies.blogspot.com .

This rose is from the Golden Gate Park Rose Garden. You must visit it sometime. There are lovely benches to enjoy the garden. And so much variety. Breathtaking!

My first large "close-up" portrait of a face. Luckily one I know well; my daughter, Robyn. Some people say it's hardest to do someone you know. For sure the pressure is on; as everyone you know will comment on whether or not the likeness is achieved. But the real fun is in the pleasure it brings to the subject. She so enjoyed being painted. I did my best, for her.

When I think of Point Lobos, I think of the weather being in charge: molding the trees, framing the majestic ocean. I couldn't have made up a more perfect scene than nature gave to me.

This is based on my original soft pastel painting on canvas, 24" x 36". Inspired by the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden in full bloom. A spectacular site. I hope you get to visit the actual rose garden, with its circular pathways and giant rose bushes. Some of them resemble trees! Unbelievable. My daughter (2 yo) picked up on my painted impression of the roses as "stars". That's what I was thinking when I painted the roses. Like they were dizzying colorful lights surrounding me. I tried to soak it all in, take a lasting impression of the experience, and deliver it to you. Enjoy!

Beautiful view from the Mill Valley Middle School. A tiny tributary of the San Francisco Bay passes under the schoolyard. No children were around when I sat down on the concrete and spread out my gear. I thought it was a safe place to paint, as school had already let out. But then a group of kids appeared, and they decided to hang out by a nearby tree. I had to gather all of my gumption to continue. I decided that this piece was complete when one of the middle school boys on skateboard slowed down behind me for a moment to comment that I was "really good". A highlight of my day which I will likely remember forever.
