I don't know about you but I find roses either go really well or really bad. A bit like painting hands too.
Yesterday I painted one hand on my current portrait so fast and good, a hard pose too, while the other looked like a meat stew dumpling.
Same with this rose. Took me FOREVER last night, and I must confess I had to touch it up this morning. Roses have complex forms. One has to keep it simple.
So what is your bugaboo??? What do you find hard?

Johanna, this rose is just exquisite...simple but regal! Roses are VERY difficult...hands are impossible...but you, my friend, have mastered them both!
Love this rose... Johanna!!
So delicate and nice...
Like Julie said... roses ... oh heck any flower... HARD... roses even more difficult!!
Flowers really are quite hard I find...keeping it simple but saying enough...white flowers the absolute challenge of all in my humble op.
