In this series of photographs, Painterly Flowers-Roses, I was inspired to create images that spoke to the “Old Master” painters, Renoir, Vermeer and Toulouse Lautrec. My interpretation of their work resulted in a loose painterly style, elusive and almost a blurred brush stroke effect so that the subject has a dream like quality. The colors emulate those of the “Old Master’s”,  palette-dark with light flooding in- similar to Vermeer.
