Flower in a glass vase by Michael Hanrahan

Michael, this is particularly good, all those different textures work extremely well and that rose head is very well done.

Thankyou heather

This is beautifuly painted Michael, a little different perhaps from your usual style of work but none the less really good.

I love the way the rose stands out Michael. It's very well done.

Thankyou George and Diane. Yes George it's abit different but at the same time it's a kind of jumping on the band wagon kind of picture. I'm pleased with the drawing of it even though it veers abit too strongly towards the academic. I like art where the artist is central to their work. I like vision in art. I fully admire and respect hyper realists now ( I didn't used to sadly ) but for me artists like Vincent and picasso were the real deal. They had vision. Anyway thankyou .
