Stunning look, and the kiss of light on the edges makes this sweet and endearing emotionally. Often, roses can get to be sort of ho-hum, but this is certainly NOT that, it is very engaging, soft and appealing. Donkeyoatey

Comment from soulfeeder
Love the salmon color of this rose. The petals are pretty defined. I like the way, you've painted the fine edges and their shades. The sharpness and clarity is great. Realistic choice and applications of shades and colors. Great presentation using that dark contrast background. I also like the way, you've painted the layers of the leaves. High painting skill and techniques. Very lovely.

Beauty is in the center of the bulb, like in the eye of the be holder. Such a gentle flower. With it's vibrant fire orange color.

I'm not great at rating painting, but in my book you did good.
I like the muted background, with hints of blue's and greens peeking out .

Nicely done...

Really enjoy the warm and cool color palette. Nice composition! Like your soft brush strokes in the background it helps it to fade. Nice job!
