Rangoon Creeper

I'd say that this is your best flower painting to date. It's quite spectacular!!

Intricate work makes for a great loose painting, which I know is a contradiction in terms, but it works well here Seok!!

Exquisite Seok - and what skill.

I'm not a great fan of flower paintings, but this is excellent. It looks very round, and solid. I like the drips of color on the background.

What a stunning flower - how lucky you are to have such a lovely plant in your garden. I agree that it is one of your best flower paintings ever and done plein air as well - that has to be impressive.

Oh how I envy you your beautiful garden Seok! A spectacular painting of a spectacular plant.

Stunningly portrayed Seok, delicate but bold.

Brilliant, what a wonderful plant. Does it have a perfume too? I would love one to cover the garage wall or is it too evasive?

A most beautiful delicate and fantastic flower painting Seok! All those individual petals and leaves, how do you it without getting lost, I wonder. Your paintings are so precise and correct without being botanical and you are able to give them a soul. Magical, that's the word!

Superb Seok, just superb.

Such assured handling of watercolour - I have just spent a very pleasant 20 minutes looking through your gallery and enjoyed every piece of work! Thanks for your comments on my 'Scott Memorial' acrylic (so much easier than watercolour!)

Lucky you Seok, are they snail repellent too? A gorgeous flower beautifully painted with great depth.

They've said it all Seok. Love the painting, love the plant

This is superb Seok, as someone has already said, one of your best. You've managed to get shape and form in each and every one of those individual petals. Definitely a masterpiece.

Lost for words! Such depth and delicacy.... and painted in plein air. Superb!

Love my gorgeous, indestructible Rangoon Creeper! It takes a lot of abuse, and when it blooms (which is almost constantly throughout the year), the entire vine is covered by huge racemose inflorescences of spectacular red and pink clusters. Painted en plein air.
