Roses II by Sheridan Ward

Just love your colours, great balance, I particularly like the impressionistic quality to your work.

There's a definite technique at work here - sometimes it works, sometimes it probably won't, but you really caught the freshness of the rose and the complementary greens with this one, and even those strokes of bright colour in the background (which seems like a rather inappropriate sort of description in this sort of painting) come off. In other words - it works if you know where to place your highlights and clean, brightest colours: and you obviously do.

Lovely as useful.

Always fresh and unique Sheridan.

Thank you for your comments, it's just a little study but I felt I needed some sunshine during this wet and windy weather!

I love this Sheridan! Lovely brush strokes and impressionist style!

I can see that this has been built up with patches of colour strategically placed. It works really well and makes an interesting painting on both the colour and textural front.

Stunning! The colour, the composition, the light - just fantastic. Such big butch roses - how totally refreshing!
