Marjorie, Spencer, Carole, Andrew and Tessa. All of you are far too generous. I’m happy to say my wife liked the painting but I still gave her the earrings 😜😜

Love the brushwork and the impasto, and the sentiment behind it. It's beautifully done.

It's a great painting - love the textures in the background and those highlights really make the glass jar.

Start of a great history with flowers? Lovely painting with texture and colour.

Okay, so…. Me and flowers don’t have much history with eachother… but hear me out… I painted this for my wife as a gift for our wedding anniversary because I want her to always have flowers from me (I picked these daisies for her while out walking- the stone for this one is lapis lazuli. I got a tube of lapis lazuli, absolutely loved throwing cadmium orange around too. I framed it in gold leaf and ebony with my own hands… just in case it all went pear shaped, I bought some back up earrings too
