Yellow Roses (1961), Oil on Canvas Board, 18 x 14



Here is the second painting of a pair. Then I did not have the high regard for colour values that I have now. One thing I remember doing in these paintings was that after I had meticulously painted the flowers, I mixed up all the colours remaining on my palette and painted the background. I still find it hard to not use up all the paint I mix!

Lovely, lovely, lovely. They remind me of the "Peace" rose. A lovely creamy pale yellow with a peachy colored center - my Mom's very favorite. Beautiful work, Joyce.
