Excellent observation. Believe it or not, I deliberately loaded the panel with thick gesso to try and create an impasto-like surface to paint on. I wanted chunky but you are right, I got distracting instead. Lesson learned!
My name is Todd Bonita, I'm an oil painter from the New Hampshire sea coast. This blog page is to journal my progress at the easel. Please feel free to contact me at tmbonita@gmail.com.

Very lifelike. I feel I can almost reach into the painting and pick up the rose.
Thanks for looking, I enjoyed painting on this larger scale and plan to do more.
Thanks Pj,

Thank you, I'm working on a small landscape right now, we'll see how that goes.
