Evening Glow

Declining Years - oil on canvas - 24 x 28

I was using the palette knife on this one as well as rags, brushes, my fingers, a squirt bottle...it's getting a little muddy, but I kind of am liking the ethereal quality to it... today I am embracing the uncertainty and leaving it be, at least until it speaks to me again, if it ever does.  This one is the 3rd in a series of rose themed paintings I started early in October.  
While I was painting it I was thinking about age and beauty.  The warm glazing added an 'evening glow' or  'vintage' esthetic to this piece.
