"red roses" by jane minter

Beautifully composed and executed. The quiet area provided by the white and the energized brushstrokes of the flowers contrast each other so well. Yes. Brush on paper in modern times.

I really like your loose style Jane. Soft, delicate...beautiful.

Very nice again Jane.

Very vibrant and loose, a lovely watercolour.

chito julia paul and val thankyou all so much for your encouraging comments ... i tried painting alot of roses this summer , i really liked what happen when i "washed off" certain areas in this painting. thankyou again jane

I like this delicate misty style with gorgeous colour.

Jane, this is a beautiful confident artwork. I love the looseness of it also, that you have painted this from life. Your Hydrangea is gorgeous too. Looking forward to seeing more of your imaginative work. Smashing.

many thanks carole and jeanette for your kind words .

I don't know how it was, but I missed this one - I think the others have said it all, but you referred to the washing-off technique, and I see it's really worked here: always interesting to experiment with what watercolour can do - I am not an experienced watercolourist, but increasingly enthusiastic, and look at your work with great interest and not a little envy.

thankyou so much robert your paintings are very impressive ..i have an architectural bg ...i've always loved watercolour in the last couple of years i've started sketching exploring and painting again which i really enjoy .

Sooooooooooooo beautiful!

thankyou julie ..the first roses are just appearing now .

You have a wonderful style - very confident and comfortable within the medium and it shows in that you can produce these beautiful paintings. Love all your gallery - only wish I could paint like that.

thea .. i love the way you paint ! ... thankyou for all comments i really appreciate them .

Very artistic and loose style, Jane.Your washes and colours are excellent.
