Artist Reply: Thanks! (had to sneak some purple in some where!)

Artist Reply: Thanks, since I paint on a computer, I can print out my artwork as a jpeg file. They look really nice on photo paper. I usually do the original size about an 8x10 size, so you only get to see on artwanted the littler version. It often makes my paintings look photish!

Artist Reply: Thank you!I struggled over if I should make ctronger, shaper details, but like the softer look for most of my work, especially roses.

Artist Reply: Thanks Terry! I appreciate all the comments you leave me!

Artist Reply: Thanks Emily! Roses are so easy to make beautiful, never saw an ugly one.

Artist Reply: Thank you Lisa! I use photos for reference shots to get the porportions and remember the details. Since I'm working on a computer, I can work faster, no dry time or clean up of paint, and if I make mistakes, I can undo and correct them. My paintings come out more realistic this way, like a soften photo, but it;s a handpainted rose, just done with a wacom tablet and wirless stylu pen. Could never paint with a regular mouse!
