Valentine Flowers by Fiona Phipps

Wow Fiona - I wish my palette cleaning produced such s fabulous result - these roses are just gorgeous. You really have an eye for the shape of the flowers and the colours of the whole are so expressive.

Magical Fiona love it

I absolutely love it Fiona!

Fiona it's enough to make someone give up painting, cleaning up indeed! Is there no end to your talents, seriously though, it is a nice piece well done lovely shapes and form.

This is a great form of re-cycling, the result is terrific. You've managed to capture these bush roses beautifully, not always easy. Lovely, and apt for Valentine's Day.

Very pretty

very skillful Fiona and inventive well done David Harrison

It looks as if you have had fun creating this beautiful work Fiona :) Great result....

Julie, Dennis, Satu, Malcolm, Andre, Janet, David......thank you for your generosity on my throw away paint.....lol!

Thank you very much Beatrice!

Great result Fiona. I also regret throw it away all colours from the palette and I too painted my poppies field cleaning my palette from water-soluble oils colours. :)

Lovely whirly curly petals, Fiona. Very lively.

But gorgeous all the same!! The roses are excellent.

I'll take this as my Valentine Day's card, as - somehow or other, and I can't imagine how it's happened - ALL of mine seem to have gone astray. It's a great use of the odd colours on your palette, and a good idea too: reminds me - the paint has half dried on mine, and I'm going to have a hell of a job scraping it off now.... I don't know that I could have produced a lively, cheerful painting like this with my leftovers, all the same.

Beautiful inventive painting Fiona, it's really lovely

You make this look easy!!!!

This is so spontaneous, Fiona, love it!

Smashing use of a mistake Fiona. You know this me and floral stuff but I had to view and study this as it's yours and very attractive. In fact it's damned good. We don't ever mark the date and never have but the lurve remains.

Fantastic! work Fiona

Lady of many talents, beautiful.

Oh Foina this is fab, great roses!

This is lovely, Fiona, very expressive, and the textured petals are very effective, a brilliant way of using up your 'leftovers'. (By the way, thanks very much for your comment on my last post, I have replied to it.)

That's a lovely painting lovely colour and beautifully painted

A testament to your artistic ability that you can create this out of nothing but leftovers! Beautiful.

I'm bowled over and humbled by your fabulous response to this, thank you all very much indeed!

GORGEOUS textures Fiona - what a wonderful way to use up the paint

Thanks Linda!

Bright fresh and bold swirly textured roses. It's Beautiful Fiona!

Big and blousey, a wonderful vase of roses Fiona. The things that you can do with left over paint! :)

This so ,so works. I could reall y live with this Fiona.

How do you do it Fiona -cleaning up the palette and this gem emerges. Is there no end to your talents? I think this is a beauty -well done yet again.

Wow - superb Fiona
