This would have definitely been a winner in a still life contest, Ray, what a gorgeous painting of these pink roses! Such a great image, from the clear glass vase so we can see the stems, to the scattering of spent leaves and petals on the table runner. I can almost smell them!

LOL It looks like we were both thinking of pink roses!
I like the arrangement you did of this lovely bunch of roses. Always impressed when you do glass. You give it a nice transparency along with the edge of reflective sheen. Nicely done my friend! :o) Nancy

YES! Flowers are my favorite subject to see you create because you seem to step back in time and visited the masters. You channeled Renoir? I am do impressed! Although I don't think he would outline in ink. But still! You, like myself enjoy doing all kinds of genres and that keeps you interesting.
Beautiful work, Ray! How big is this?

    Jewell, thank you for your wonderful review, Rating and compliments. Thats the way Renoir I differ the black ink defines things better than paint and it is a finer line. The dimensions are 9 x 12 inches. this is done on black plastic paper called "Dura Bright " and I love it because you don't have to prime it and it is super smooth. Blick's Art supply was having a close out sale, I bought three pads. I would go to the source www.grafix.com. I highly recommend this. It is nice to know you enjoy this . Ray

A lovely presentation of these beautiful roses, Color and texture are well shown. The outlines of the flowers are well defined and sharp. Even the watercolor in the vase is realistic.
