I am in my flower mode again! This time I picked one from the garden. I hate killing flowers! I decided to do an up close image. This one caused me a high with all the fixative I had to use! Boy that stuff is not fun.
This piece is 18 x 28
very awesome indeed :D. And that reminds me, i gotta paint a few flowers for my mammy, they are building a conservatory..actually, it's built, i become a builder for a good month or two lol, but yeah, back to painting and i need to liven the room up :D...great work though, and very inspiring :D
:) this wavy style you have , looks like so much to your wavy smile and eyes... Its seems you r painting always your self with different shapes and images. This is great.
I just recently visited your gallery for the first time and must say your artform is quite lovely. Some of the work here is overwhelming with imagery, which is a good thing. I love the way you are able to use dark hues with such wonderful effect. Very nice work.
Take Care,
Susan
I love the form and flow of this wonderful rose. The colours are beautiful and the shading perfect. I feel I can just pick it up, smell it and put it in a vase, very lovely indeed. I really don't know how you get pastels to work for you the way they don't work for me, you are obviously very talented. Great!!!
