Gloriosa by Carole Swingler

Like bonfire night. Brill colours..

Beautifully illustrated Carole. Busy with the little shop going up to Christmas.

Beautiful painting Carole, lovely movement. Can I ask what paper you used for this please.

Beautiful colours Carole. Is is coloured watercolour paper? Like Margaret I'm fascinated to know.

Stunning how the black paper shows up the vibrancy of the blooms Carole, a real cracker.

Lovely painting Carole the colours are fantastic

Those colours really sing. Love the composition too

Nice composition, love the dark background, a oriental feel to it.

I thought it had a Chinese feel to it too, lovely work Carole.

Thanks all so much. Margaret and Ellen, it is Daler Rowney it just says Black HB on back of pad, I have had it for ages. It only takes dryish watercolour or gouache and of course coloured pencil. Not as robust as I would like.

Full of beauty Carole

You're very kind Dennis, thanks.

Thank you Helen, very kind .

Gorgeous!

Glorious Gloriosa :)
