Home grown rose by Tom Benson

Beautiful detail Tom....what patience you have! Thank you for your lovely comment on my latest posting, and Pin mill.

Many thanks Fiona. It was like a story ... every session ended with, 'right, that's it!'

Lovely, delicate painting Tom, well worth the effort. The dark background really makes the yellows vibrate.

The rose really comes to life in this painting. Lovely piece of work.

Beautiful rose, so well painted, I know these flowers are difficult to do!

There is just something about yellow roses - this is lovely. It is beautifully painted and you have achieved a real depth to the lower. Do you know which variety it is? We visited the David Austinerose gardens a couple of weeks ago and came back with four new rose bushes in similar colours to your painting.

Beautiful painting, lovely detail
