The Flower by Ashley Raddon

A beauty. Your portfolio is so varied. Seldom can an artist excel at so many different subjects all uniquely painted, hats off to you.

Haha, thank you Heather... I'm off to the Scottish School of Classical Art in August to spend a week studying portraiture in oils. I often look at gallery paintings and in my head say to myself 'I can paint that ' delusional I know but I believe if I can draw it I can paint it... failing once pushes me on to try until I can master it.... it's my OCD I think

oh how beauty, wonderfully painted!!

Superb artwork.

Love the light and shade and how you have painted that wonderful background Ashley.

Thanks Heather, I'll post some acrylic pop art later and maybe some portraiture. One has gone to the owner and UK musician, producer and guitarist of Ocean Colour Scene and Paul Wellers guitarist Steve Cradock.... I'm always looking to try all aspects as I believe it's all possible, you just have to put in the hard work

I've been painting for around 5 years now so am pushing on to try to achieve what I think I can be

A dramatic piece with luminous washes, great composition and palette. Beautifully done.

How beautifull..

Beautiful

Thanks everyone, it's very kind. This started as an experiment when a charity art group challenged me to paint a flower. It sold and is now in Oregon USA

Lovely.

Beautiful!

Absolutely beautiful. Wonderful detail and a super background.
