Opera by Thalia Stones

Lovely impact effect Thalia and the pink looks good to me!

Nice image Thalia. Keep slapping it on.

I meant impasto not impact, b predictive texting! Actually either would do as it does have impact.

I've bought vibrant red pastels and vermilion oil paint just for geraniums, shades of purple for pansies etc. It's frustrating when you can't achieve that particular shade you want! All that said, your geraniums are lovely, the gentle pink background adds to everything Thalia.

Very clever use of knife Thalia. Love the simple, effective composition.

Lovely spontaneous painting Thalia. Some colours are so difficult to create! But I like this pink, gorgeous.

Thank you so very much, I'm really enjoying this little series of flowers in small oils. Thank you Tessa, it's ok, but not even close to the true fluorescent pink I wanted! Thanks Michael, I am...this time a large poppy painting! Thanks Marjorie, me too, not so bad in WC, but oils are another matter to obtain over here! Thanks Carole, very kind of you, and you too, Carole, I had to work fast as the shade of the buildings comes round so quickly!!!

Beautiful painting and knife-work, Thalia.

Nice fresh painting

Geraniums are not the easiest thing in the world to paint but you have made a lovely job of it Thalia
