Grand Finale 2. Falling petals

Comments

Lovely work Carole. Is the dancing fairy at the top deliberate or a "happy accident"? Either way it has distinct possibilities to exploit...

Sad to see the rose dying but very well captured.

Another gorgeous painting of a fading summer rose, Carole.

Such drama and beauty Carole. This encompasses the sadness of a fading summer into the beauty of autumnal colours. So majestic.

Beautiful work Carole, it's so sad to see the end of the roses.

Absolutely beautiful, Carole, in a reflective, melancholic way. The colours are gorgeous. Bri

You have those colours spot on, roses always go a lot darker as they die away, I can feel the crispness of the petals as they wither and die, really well painted.

Beautifully captured Carole. Sad to see such a summer passing but I’m sure autumn and winter will produce some good challenges!
