I have to say I love when you paint like this. There's a translucensy in the petals and the leaves. Really beautiful Dan, line a fine oil painting.

I lit a tikki torch on the sidewalk in my garden the other night, and this is almost exactly what my antique roses looked like with the light from the fire. Luminous and beautiful...like these. (as a matter of fact, I took a picture of the torch and that's what I was going to paint next) ...Goes without saying that this is a wonderful painting, but I said it anyway.

YAY FOR ME!!! WOO HOO!!! :)

Your so humble.

It's just one of the many great things about me, really.

........................ i'm speechless

one of my favorites of yours. oh and what the heck....why feign humility, what purpose does that really serve? we all play too many games as it is.
