Soft Pastel Illustration of "Wild Roses and Queen Anne's Lace". Road side beauties.They are some of the charm of Arkansas which is called "The Natural State"
Artist Reply: Thanks so much I love to work from life and this became a cover for my phone case. Amazing what technology can do. I just now saw this comment and still wanted to thank you.
You have wonderful floral shots. I love the art effect on this one!
Artist Reply: Thanks this is a pastel and I looked at real flowers called wildroses and queen anne's lace. They grow wild along the roads in the spring in Arkansas..
Very nice, you really captured the Queen Anne's Lace!
Artist Reply: Thank you Heather. I gathered them from the road side and put down what I saw. They posed in water but I learned by seeing and that is so important. Have a wonderful day.
This is fantastic Sandra, I find florals very hard to pull off with oils, maybe I should try with pastels!
Artist Reply: Thank you so much for the very nice compliment. Pastels are easy to transport and set up. I enjoy them in all different forms. I gathered the roses and queen anne's lace and really looked at them. It's important to learn to see from real life. You learn alot. I appreciate you stopping by.
