Lovely painting Carole

Gorgeous palette Carole, soft and gentle . Love the way you've made the roses stand out against the dark background and the little twiggy runs at the bottom balance everything perfectly.

Nice balance of tones and good composition make this a great painting.

This is super Carole! Love the extremes of textures, the softness of the blooms set against the harsher background. Lovely mix.

Very loose with gorgeous colours. The darks in the background really show up the glowing petals of the roses.

Super painting Carole! Acrylic inks really wake up things with their brightness and here you have mixed traditional watercolours with them very well indeed.
