National Rose Month: Day 13

Henri Fantin-Latour’s  rose paintings are exquisite! I don’t think anyone can come close to his virtuosic manipulation of paint to create such delicate forms. He applied thick impasto not only with brushes, but also manipulated the paint with the butt of the brush and also used scrapers.
Roses Jaunes Dans Un Vase (Yellow Roses in a vase), 1891 by Henri Fantin-Latour shown above, inspired me to paint this beautiful cascade of creamy white roses.
