Flowers

Flowers are very deceptive. You think they are easy to paint until you try. There are so many complex shapes in each flower. When you think of simplifying you dont know where to start. My last attempt of live flower painting was a huge disaster. It was more than a year back. I again tried and this time it is better. I think it was a good exercise and I think ought to do this more often, no matter what the result is.

Title : Composition with Three Roses
Size : 15 x 11 inch
Medium : Watercolor on Paper

Well I LOVE the result! They are fresh and full of movement and life. There is nothing stiff about them which is so often the case in flower paintings. I think that this is perfect in every way :0)

you picked the hardest flower of all to paint - and you came up with a lovely composition and good result.
The background is a little fussy for my taste, but that's personal. I do like how you have captured the light in the glass and the reflection. Fabulous xx

This looks lovely man. I love the way you have used all those abstract shapes especially in the shadow.
Best wishes,

Judy, Lydie, Aurora,
Thank you ladies for those kind words.

Cora,
Glad you liked the composition. It took me some time to get it like this in the setup.

Sandra,
You realy think so!! Oh thank you so much. By the way everytime I was becomng a little stiff with the flower or was fussing around a bit I would go back to the background and paint with freedom. Because as you said it is so easy to get stiff while painting flowers.

Pat,
I was using the background to loosen myslef. Probably I overdid it. But I am glad you liked the painting as such. :)
