This is quite nice. How long did it take you for you to make it?
ReplyDeleteI admire how beautifully you capture roses and do it with thick juicy paint and strong color yet retain their delicacy! Loved going through your posts and catching up with your blog . . . love seeing your copies of different artists around one subject. Beautifully done!
