This is a beautiful painting that shows us the stunning contrasts of light and shadow in such a pretty way. Your framing makes this eye appealing and somewhat intriguing. The colors are natural feeling and your textures show the petal details so well. Beautiful work that is so pleasing to view!

Beautiful digital painting here!! I love the variation of colours you used to create depth. The light seems to hit the petals so gently. Nicely chosen composition. It is a pleasure to view, thanks for sharing

This is a really great painting. I see you also do digital painting. I would guess your program is similar to the one I use, Procreate. The light/shadow inside the rose creates a feeling of depth and 3D. Well done.

I like your color palette a lot, with a monochromatic look to it. Your composition is great in not showing the entire rose, it adds interest.

    My program is ArtRage 5.1.2 pro. It allows me to choose canvas textures and tools and mix my colors. I paint with my fingers on the touch pad of my laptop. It's aq bit like fingerpainting, but more complicated. :o)

This is gorgeous digital painting, with the gorgeous realistic rose and the purples and dark fuschias, maroons in the background. Looks like a real painting with lovely strokes.

Oh what a glorious time of year: The First day of Spring. Everything begins to come to life and produce the type of beauty you have captured here.

This rose is a lovely pastel color with great textures and details.

Very well done Cleo ~ Steve

It's ironic that our spring is ending as the leaves here are falling and our Hurricane Season will soon be here along with Hot weather.
Beautiful painting of your first spring rose Cleo.
Nice textures, details and highlights.
