Rose As Portal: A New Painting / by Tim Lane

I did something with this painting that I rarely do. I did studies to determine which route I wanted to take. I got to a point where the foundation and drawing were in, and then I made photocopies and worked on different ways of rendering the image. Three versions in all. Ultimately I decided on what is below. It was the third version. Then I went back to the watercolor and finished the painting.
