A very beautiful flower painting. Looking through your gallery I particularly admire your sea holly paintings and the lemons -excellent work!

Gorgeous Carole

I do like the colours here Carole and the background works well. Lovely composition which fills the paper beautifully.

Gosh Carole you really do beautiful flower paintings.

Thanks all for your generous comments, I truly appreciate them. I couldn't sell this one so I have it hung in my kitchen! Glad I didn't sell as can;t seem to get that textured background again!

Don't know why it didn't sell it's stunning. I love the way you have painted that bottom right hand corner pushing that small branch into the background which gives the painting so much depth.

If this was my painting Carole, I definitely couldn't part with it! It is rather special.

Posted by Louise Naimian on Mon 23 Apr 11:22:11

Thanks Val. Thanks Louise, very kind of you both.

This has that wow factor for me, beautiful treatment of the flowers, leaves and background.

Absolutely stunning, Carole! You really capture the elegance and appeal of flowers superbly.

17" x 12" I added a bit more colour to this as it is quite a pale one growing in my garden.
