I have not been painting for the last 2 or 3 weeks and it is difficult to get started. I picked the last of my roses from the garden and arranged them. I loosely based these two knife paintings on the arrangement. I wanted to just have fun and "ice" the canvas (like icing a cake). I really like the loose, sort of abstract look of a knife painting. I did notice that when I took the photo of each, I cropped the painting a little too much. Things don't quite hug the edges as they appear in the photos.
