Love your shadow colours Mia, such delicacy.

Thank you very much, Carole. It is the first time I used this combination: cobalt blue and cadmium red. I am very pleased with the result. Must try it with ultramarine blue and cadm. red.

Thank you very much for your nice comment, Dermot.

Hi Mia , thank you for your kind comments on my latest , the size is 16 inches wide by 12 high I nearly always paint this size and my framer surrounds them with a 4 inch double mount which makes for a big finished piece Have a great Saturday

Beautiful Mia!

Posted by Sarah Bottjer on Sat 02 Feb 10:04:40

Thanks Dermot and Sarah. Dermot, I always ask the size of the works because then I can juge the amount of detail. Your explanation is very interesting. I used to work on that size but now I prefer A4 for my flower paintings :)

Posted by Mia Ketels on Sat 02 Feb 12:19:17

I rally like your style of painting Mia, its so gentle and clean. A pleasure to look at !

My winter rose is fading very slowly... The snow last week didn't do it any good, so... I did the drawing with an Artline marker and just used fading limited colours for the flower. I kept the banches of the rose-tree in a mix of shadow colour: cobalt blue and cadmium red. Size A4. All comments (as usual) very welcome :)
