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.

    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!

    Katherine, thank you for your very kind and encouraging comments. Yes you are right, sometimes it takes a few days before you can look at your work with fresh eyes.

      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!

      Boston Strong!

    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.

    A lovely painting, Wendy! I like the soft quality of it.

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