Smashing it takes me that long to decide where to start

Well, that's half the battle. You should be pleased with this. You have captured the hard branch and the delicate papery petals. I can even feel the sticky bud!

Love the colours in this Carole, especially the bottom pale pink flower against the really dark leaves.

Lovely

An exciting painting, full of interest, perhaps more so than a 'developed' piece!

Posted by Michael Stephens on Mon 15 Feb 18:28:08

Gorgeous washes and bleeds Carole...delicate and expressive.

Thanks so much particularly because I made it up so no planning on composition etc.

Posted by Carole Swingler on Mon 15 Feb 18:45:46

This is so beautiful Carole, you make me feel like giving up!

Posted by Christine Davies on Mon 15 Feb 18:53:18

If only.....! Inspirational, well done Carole.

Wonderful watercolour, Carole, nice colours and great washes, much more than a sketch.

It's a lovely painting, Carole, planned or not! I love the darks towards the bottom of the painting leading up to the more delicate flowers above.

Being quick,gives it a looser fresh feel, without loads of detail. I would say this is inspired. A real lovely watercolor.

Painted beautifully, with such delicacy and wonderful lost and found edges. Superb, Carole!

Thank you building my confidence, I was thinking yesterday that I just couldn't paint ! That's why I slapped some paint on paper and hoped for the best. Thanks friends.

Fabulous!

Really like this Carole, in places it even has a hint of Chinese type passages, love the contrasts between the heavy colour and the very light work, nice one.

Posted by Malcolm Buckley on Tue 16 Feb 14:29:27

Thank yo very much Sylvia and Malcolm.

An excellent "free" painting Carole, I especially like the colours in the leaves.

Posted by Val Kenyon on Wed 17 Feb 12:06:52

Beautiful delicate painting of one of my favourite flowers, Carole!

Watercolour and watercolour pencil. No inspiration whatsoever at the moment. Just putting brush to paper!
