    You're very welcome. I had a couple bushes of roses that looked just like yours here, but a deep red. :)

This looks so much like an oil painting and I would have given you a 6 but don't have one. This is just beautiful. Roses and roses and not a frog in sight. You should be so happy with this. Sandy

    Thank you much Sandy!
    Do not worry about sixes. The value of gold is much below the value of the encouraging words from a friend.
Comment from Montana Shooter


Wow! The flowers just POP thanks to the juxtaposition of lights and darks.

Digital art is something I haven't tried, but am in awe of those who do it and do it well.

Very nice.

Comment from Jean A Cormier


Stunning work, Cleo! My first thought was that this could not possibly be digital ! Amazing use of tonal range with stellar color work! Compositionally top notch. Soft and elegant work-this looks like quite advanced work-sorry have not been on the site reviewing due to shows and working on art and new grandaughter! jean

    Hi, Cleo! Well, grandchildren keeping me busy as well as new husband and art shows! I am so behind here, cannot catch up! I have the granddaughter all day tomorrow so nothing gets done, but I can draw when she naps! jean

    I really know about being behind! Just look how behind I am. You have such a great excuse. Just enjoy! Time goes by so fast, and children seem to grow up just in a blink.

As soon as I saw this, I saw a market for cards, crockery, pictures. Absolutely stunning reds, pinks and greens complimented with a simple background.

5 stars all around, thanks for sharing it.

Comment from Bretislav


It looks very real for a digital work. I've seen many but one can usually tell they are done in photoshop. This one however, looks like a professional painting.

    Thank you very much, I appreciate your review. This is not done in photoshop, but in a program called ArtRage.
Comment from shiloh106


This is really lovely Cleo. We had an old fashioned rose growing up called 7 sister that had these looser blooms and your painting reminds me of it very much. Great color and composition.
