Some day when I'm able to get away from my PC, and back to my little studio, I'll do something similar. I really do miss the aroma of fine oils and more control over brushes. Thanks a million for the excellent review, Amanda.

The dark background really makes the flower and vase bristle. The contrast is startling and wonderfully done. I like the brilliantness of this.

This is beautiful the way you have done it. I like the way the flowers show up and the highlights on them. The detail and the textural qualities in this are excellent. A wonderful work of art.

It looks like nothing I am familiar with before. Of course you meant for that to appear. I hope to see more of your works in the future.

Oh my. I'm sorry to disappoint you, wingsoflove, but this is not a photo. It is a digital painting. I thank you for the thought and the super, super rating on this though!!

Comment from buckeye
Nice image. I likr the concept of this image. The colors are good but alot of hot sports where the detail is blown out but you may have wanted it like that. Thanks for sharing

Comment from Spirit Dove
Great first impact. I love the burnt orange tones and browns you have used.
The light and shadows on the background are great.
The flowers are very romantic.
The vase is ornate and very detailed. I love the reflections on the table top. Very apprealing. A nice soft expression.
