Standard Rose

                                                     Acrylic on board 7" x 5"
I managed to loosen up today but the outcome wasn't much chop. My heart wasn't in it today.

  1. This is so pretty! I bet when you look at it in a few days, you'll see all the beauty and skill in it that we see! I really like the Lamington On Doily piece too. The composition on that one is so perfect and the way you did the details and reflections is amazing!

      You have a huge heart and I am thrilled to know that a big part of it was with the wonderful people of Boston! On behalf of all Bostonians, thank you!
      This piece is beautiful. It has a tremendous healing power!
      Art on!
      Boston Strong!

  3. Hi Wendy, this painting is beautiful! I love the colors and the cheery flowers. If you were having a bad day, it doesn't show in this gorgeous painting.

  5. This looks fab to me. It looks lots tougher to loosen up with acrylics than watercolour so great job done.
