Lovely painting- you did a great job with the close up. I love the colors and shaded of this pink- the lighting also gives the desired effect. Wonderful artwork!

OW! This is a real close up shot. So close that I thought this to be a watercolour painting done in wash technique.!The colours sharpness and composition makes this first rate. Well Done!

    Thank you! You are right. It is a painting but not a watercolor. It is digitally painted with a special program [ArtRage 3.5.0} what basically works as painting on canvas. One chose the kind of canvas, brushes, colors et cetera. The fingers move the tools via a mouse pad. This painting was done in a mixed technique on blank digital canvas. I used oil brushes, the palette knife and chalks. I admit it would be complicated to mix oils and chalks on real canvas but it is digitally possible and even opens up some new doors.

This is a beautiful composition of a nice rose. I thought this was a photograph when I first saw it. Beautiful colors, design and technique. Great shot!

I think you have done a fair job on the rose. I liked your comments about it. This is true with anything you paint. I like the changing values of the painting. Your shadowing is nicly done.Maybe a little more distinction on the left and lower part of the painting. They (petals) need more difination... like you did ont the top right. I do like the soft look of your flower. Pat

    Thank you very much for your thoughtful review. The blurr in the left is intentional. I tried a similarity to the blurr our own eyes see when plants are moved in high winds. Our own eyes[at least mine] are not able to see as an camera with an stop in action shot. I tried to capture the motion of the petals in the wind. You could say I tried to paint the wind.

I love the close up view of this beautiful rose . The color is gorgeous and I love how you can see inside. I also like the strong contrast in the lower left corner with the green foliage. Fantastic point of view.

This is really pinky.
The creativity is great. At first look I thought it was a painting seeing nothing but blur.
Center of interest is good. I would of tried to make that center of the bud really clear and exposed.
Thanks for sharing Lou

    Thank you Lou, You were right with your first impression. It is a painting. The blurr is intentional. I was trying to paint motion.

Very intersting and beautiful piece. It is almost abstract until one reads the little piece you wrote up. The colors are very nice and I love the composition. Thanks for sharing this

This is an eye catcher. The folds of the petals are so wonderfully defined. The blend of the colors so impactful. Excellent piece of art work. Paul
