Comment from julika
Lovely image. This is a beautiful rose. I like the composition.......it almost fills the frame at a slight angle but is set off really well by the slightly mottled background.A most creative presentation. Very nice lighting creating highlights and shadows. I love the texture in the rose petals and leaves. Good clour harmony in this image as well.A most pleasing image.

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel
Very beautiful painting - your color choice is amazing, the first time I see something more dark and saturated - fantastic composition, excellent color harmony and shades on the leaves and the background just emerging into each other to let these orange flowers stand out - super DOF great detail work , a real beautiful image worth to hang on any wall with its spectacular essence and lighting, well done, all the best of luck

Comment from I can do all things
I did not get to see the first one. However, I am quite sure it is just as lovely as this piece. This has a real softness to it. Great strokes of color and depth. Well done:o)
