THE PLANT PARADE, JUNE … our forum challenge.

Merri – both are really nice – different styles too.

I particularly like the leaves and colour mixes for the first and the second just oozes joy! The lilies and leaves busting out!

Cheers, Maureen

tuscanny –  love your roses.    the first one… the gorgeous one from Kay… wow,  Its so beaut.   luscious orange colours.
Second rose,  just lovely… I had a go at this one.
Third with the rain drops… just gorgeous.

Kay – lovely loose bouquet of roses… gorgeous and colourful.

Joy,  a beautiful painting of a soft rose.   the typical ‘ashes of roses’ colour.   love it.

Imelda –  so beautiful the wild roses.. they are usually 5 petals with lots of yummy for the bees open centres.   You have created a lovely painting.

Ams – very pretty colours on a beautiful background of green.  All works a treat.  well done.

Thanks for the nice comments on mine Maureen.   I so much enjoyed the lillies.   really mucked about with the background.  cheers

Christel  – beautiful roses

Kay – love your vase full of roses

Joy – your rose is beautifully done.  I don’t see the struggle.

Imelda – lovely wild roses

Anne – your lillies are beautifully done also. I love the softness of your work.

Merri – your rose is sweet and I ❤️ your lilies painting.  The colors are wonderful and the bg is great.

Lovely job by all.

I attempted the Rose on the Trellis.  Man, did that take alot of tape…  I am not happy with my results this time.  I ran out of time and tried to rush.  That didn’t work…  After looking at it now, I think I should have maybe gone darker in the bg and lighter on the rose leaves?!?  This is how I learn.

I think this one is destined for the bin!!  Oh well, maybe next time.

Cindy,  I think your trellis is just the best and something I would resist trying.   So tip hat for the trellis. The fence and letterbox is just fab.  The rose covering it is lovely too.  I agree the bg has swallowed the rose up a bit,  but I still think the whole pic is really lovely.  Beautiful work.

Cheers Merri

No, no, no, Cindy, DO NOT BIN!

I think this really looks good and just needs a little bit of lighter greens on the rose leaves to allow touches of brighter red to stand out a bit. I really liked this as soon as it came on the page!

Thanks everyone for your comments.

Merri, nice work on both of yours.

Cindy, I like how your trellis came out. Definately not bin worthy.

Here’s my version of one of the roses. About 8″ square, ink & inktense in XL Mixed Media sketchbook.

Beautiful rose, Anne!

Cindy – wow! I can see you put a lot of work in it. Is it wc? I usually have a problem with too dark reds so i add orange gouache to brighten it.
