red roses - week 2

Back to Maureen's garden with plans to tone down the ochre and create a more wintry feel to the whole canvas. Also working on modelling the branches etc and creating greater depth. It's still not finished, but it's going in the right direction (I think).

And I added the roses in, as the last thing I did, but they need to be brighter. Roses in January....I've also got a strawberry ripening in my garden....it must be global warming. But today we've got snow, so I think that will finish off the roses and the strawberry....we'll have to wait till later in the year.
