This is a very nice painting. But the photo doesn't do it any justice. If a person just looks at the small photo and doesn't look very hard at the large one they will never get the full quality of the paining. I am reviewing the large photo. I can see texture that create the aura of the painting. Beautiful.

Hi Cleo, When I look at this I see a wax flower. The textures of the paint to me look like wax. The way you did this gives a very interesting look to the flower. The petals come out with a thicker look to them. This reminds me of a silversmith ready to dip his creation in silver. Not exactly sure how they do that, but this brought thoughts of that process to mind. I know this would have made a lovely solver rose. Thanks for sharing and make me think out the review! Hope you like the notion of your rose as silver. Very Nicely Done! :o) Nancy

    Thank you very much, Nancy! :o)
    I feel honored by your idea of a silversmith rose. :o)

    I thought you might like hearing about that. I remember from a movie long ago that a silvesmith created silver items from wax. Your rose would have been beautiful as silver. :o) :o) :o)

    I have read some articles about Silversmith a while ago. If you Google Silversmith, you probably find them easily. :o)

    I think I will! I'd love to know if they still do silversmithing like that! Thanks My Friend! :o)

Love the softness of this painting. The back ground colors you used is very complimentary to the rose. I really like how you captured the unfolding of the petals. Your use of the highlights is exceptional. Big fan of roses. I once did one i black and white.

Comment from Lucien van Oosten


Cleo,
I really like the way you painted the rose's pedals, the color blending and subtle tonal value's are really well thought out and executed using the media.

With that being said, I also think that the negative space colors do not compliment the rose,on my screen y there are shades of purple there that are a composition and flow.
A dark shade of forest green would have brought a better balance to the piece.

The rose is a solid 6, the background for me is not even a 5. That is me reasoning for the less then 5 rating on this piece.

Thank you for allowing me the privilege of reviewing your work.

Have great Sunday.
Cheers,
Lucien

    Thank you very much, Lucien, for your through and helpful review and your valuable advice! :o)
    I will work on the painting and see if I can change it to the better. This will need a while because I am a slow worker. :o)

Digital is not easy, not for me anyway. This is a perfect artistic rendering of a pink rose. I can see the brush strokes as if manually done, there is depth and texture. A beautiful art piece. Well done.

Cleo, this is simply gorgeous!

Makes me want to be a painting artist... but I have no talents there, I'll leave it to those, like you that really know what you are doing.

Great image!!!
