Rustic Roses daily painting

I'm trying to loosen up and do work that's a bit less detailed. Many of the paintings that I really admire have extremely loose brushstrokes. Not as easy at it looks. Seems it takes a lot of effort to look effortless. One of my favorite quotes is Thomas Jefferson's "If I had more time I'd write shorter letters." I think that translates to painting, also :-} "Rustic Roses" oil on canvas 8"x 6" available at Daily Paintworks
