About "The Rose of Love"

Roses are my favourite flowers to paint, especially a red rose. I tried my best to keep the red nice and bright and crisp by not using white at all to highlight. I used Cadmium Yellow Pale to highlight the petals. I always try and keep my colours clean by mixing most of the colours from the primary colours. I then kept the leaves quite dark allowing the rose to stand out in this little garden.

I used un-stretched canvas. I am quite fussy when it comes to what canvas to use as I like to prime and finish the surface to my liking before I paint. I also allowed some canvas around the painting to stretch over a frame if so desired.

About Valerie

I am a South African oil painter from East London whose work explores the beauty of nature through colour, realism and expressive mark-making. My paintings combine contemporary floral realism with impressionistic and abstract influences. Recognisable flowers are surrounded by layered, painterly backgrounds in which colour, texture and movement create atmosphere and emotion.

Working from my sun-filled studio, I approach each painting with curiosity and a willingness to experiment. Inspired by flowers, light, nature and the richness of everyday life, I seeks not only to paint what I see, but to capture the feeling it evokes. My work is ultimately about beauty, optimism and the joy of being alive.
