Scottsdale, fourth Day:  Daniel Keyes loves flowers. He told us the story 

of how, when his parents would allow each of their children to select something

 to purchase, he would ask for a flower.  This love for blooms is evident in his paintings

.

Our third demonstration was  painting roses.  I finally got the fact 

through my head that one can blend the oil paint on the painting, instead of

 trying to mix it all on the palette.  This allows for the soft edges and lovely 

blurs of  reflected light.  Really enjoyed painting this one and makes 

me wish I had planted more roses in my garden.
