Night light

Stunning - the marrying of the peachy pinks of the roses against that intense blue background is genius.

Love the colours and the way you painted the leaves; negative painting. Very effective

This is stunning, Sharon! Love the way the light dances over the entire piece with such an ethereal glow. Beautifully done!

This is beautiful, with such a vibrant glow, and the colours are perfect.

Oh ladies, thank you so much for your encouraging comments, really appreciated. Why is it, I wonder, that when you throw caution to the wind and let spontaneity take over, the results give so much more satisfaction than when you spend hours, maybe days, slaving over a painting ?

And thank you Ruth for your comment on my bike in the snow, great to hear from you.

This really does glow Sharon, you have certainly captured the intensity of light from within.

This was inspired by the rose bush at my back door. When at night the security light reacts to movement, the rose seems to glow in the dark, as if the light was coming from within. Watercolour on Hahnemuehle Andalucia 500gsm rough 30x40cm
