Very nice, real tomatoes!:)

This is lovely Jean. Lushious colours and they do look good enough to eat though I wouldn't recommend it to other than the birds. As you so rightly named it...they're rose hips....albeit giant sized ones and you've captured them beautifully.

These are really beautiful--so bright and vibrant!

thanks ladies :) By the way Idid a net search and there is recipes for jam, tea and as an addition to applsauce, etc

[Dewi]

Good looking rose hips and they must be a lot until they could make jam etc. Thought that after blooming flowers should be trimmed.

[khourianya]

very nice - is this done freehand in Painter? It's quite beautiful.

[Elainepsq]

Very nice!

[leojacko]

You've really brought out the important features of the hips here. - Luscious colours & fascinating leafy things [sepals?]

I made Rose Hip wine a long time ago, it had a lovely pink tint to it :D

The rose hips really pop against that dark background. They are an excellent source of Vitamin C, can be made into tea. Fascinating to see the steps of the digital painting, love here expression.

Love those hips and a great start to the carnival girl waiting for the finish! ;o)

Oh goody. I am clueless how you all do these wonderful digital paintings. I love seeing the steps. Thanks for the demo. Will look for the update.

Your rose hips are beautiful!! And you have a great start on the carnival girl! Loved seeing your progress, I have wondered how one goes about painting on the computer. I can see lots of advantages, a big one being not having to buy art supplies! lol And another would be avoiding the mess I always have when I am working on art!

You've done a grand job on her, Jean. Such a serious little girl and you've caught that perfectly.

[sundiver]

The rosehips look so plump and pretty, and the WIP is very impressive!

[Chiers]

Woo Woo...great hips Jean!

Carnival girl looks good too.

[Charlie's Mum]

Really glorious colours in the rose hips - and that girl is superb!
