Dreamy -White Roses- experimenting with the palette knife

Dreamy
 8x8 oil painting
by Pat Fiorello
$200
Was doing a little study of 3 roses from a photo. Did a little experimentation with a palette knife at the end to destroy some of what had been created.  Adds a little mystery, texture, edge variation.  Think I will continue to experiment with this. What do you think?

    IMHO. Mystery is a great thing in painting. It gives the viewer room to make their own interpretation:)

      I agree. Sometimes we have to be willing to stop earlier than we think or destroy any "over-reporting" . It's more challenging to do a loose, suggest vie painting than a fully rendered one.

    you will have wonderful results.
