Thank you Linda for the flowers, I love them.
I like your blue background.
The little buds are done really well.
I like how you framed it out and the buds and leaves overlapping the framing.
Its a lovely piece, thanks for sharing.

Nice image. I don't think the flower is as well defined as it was n the previous image that had the black frame.This one is feeling somewhat flat (DOF) to me. The colors are nice but could possibly be more differentiated. I think the lighter frame softens the feel of this piece in comparison. Good composition. Well seen.

I really like the way rose jumps out with all the vibrant color and the blue background really compliments the entire subject. In all a very superbly done work of art!

The muted pink and yet gives "Roses for You" such a delicate feel. It has a nice form in terms of proportion but could use a bit more definition.

This is a lovely watercolour, Linda, showing your beautiful Rose bursting through the frame - I like what you've done here. Excellent use of colour and shading - it looks to light and airy and I like the detail you've put in the leaves, too. I really like the frame effect. Lovely composition. Suzanne

Linda, I have to admit... I do love the roses with more details like this one.

Your colors are gorgeous and your out of the box framing is really making a big hit with me :)

Creative with a taste of Linda's mind :)

    Thank you so much Eileen. I was worried it was too much white space.

A lovely watercolor of these roses in these pastel colors.
This reminds me of a perfectly soft greeting card with its large,border. Beautiful blending of,colors and fine detail give the main rose a dimensional quality. A very soft and pretty work of art.

very pretty flower picture. Carefully chosen surround and contrasting delicate colours to give the whole picture an all over soft appeal.The grey surround draws the eye to the central flower.
