absolutely beautiful Cleo. I am sure I have mentioned before how hard I find it to paint flowers but you have made it look so effortless here. Love the colours and the soft brush strokes used. A really pretty piece created

    ha ha, Oh I know, thats why it deserves high scores he he. I wouldn't even know where to start to create this. The thumbnail actually looks like a photo!!

    I am cheating. I make a scratch on paper after nature or reference photos. Than either scan the scratch or transfair it with the raster method to the paint program.

    Even so, I bet if I tried that it would look nothing like your effort. One day I will have to play about with the digital painting, I love the effect

Love it! The gorgeous colours have a lovely bright Spring feel to it, one can almost smell the lovely scent of freesias coming from the painting.

Yes I have grown these a few years back as they are so beautiful. These are a great rich red colours which is lovely against the yellow and green. Sure shows spring is in your part of the world.

    Sorry about your freesias. If it helps any, the cold South killed mine too. [In South Texas!].

Thank you very much for the introduction - a very beautiful flower image, they really looks meat with their trumpet blooms so close together - I love the environment you have given them with all the other different kind like dancers in spring time just sticking the nose through the snow - a happy radiant image, great in color choice and composition, well done

Nice soft, gentle portrayal. Flowers look both real and unreal. Foreground and background make an interest pairing. Really nice picture.
