    May is the month of roses, soon here in Italy, the bloom will be the most intense in the year ...
    An absolutely gorgeous composition that opens the door to this special month, with the beauty for us viewers, and with joy that it brought you, while painting.

    Hi Hilda - I like the colors too. Just the way they came so cannot claim credit.
    I got some more from another friend today so the rose series will continue. Waiting for your next masterpiece, my friend.

      Thanks jane. What I think is amazing is the way you can go from flowers and faces to wonderful non representational abstracts.
