My first attempt at acrylics after quite a few years break from painting.

very nice

Lovely to see this Rose. It is SO good and full of colour, style and a sense of joy for your garden. Thank you for showing it to us.

Wow, I like this Rose! It's beautiful, the colours you've chosen and the vivid green in the centre. So full of life and energy, really lovely..:)

Thanks Julia! I did find it difficult as you can't wash it out if you have made a mistake.
I am not sure if I will change back to water colours! It definitely was a challenge.
I did enjoy doing it though as I didn't know which flowers I was going to put on as I was doing it!
Thanks Paulmaria!
Thanks Chris! As you know, I wasn't sure about it but was pleased with the end result. At least it stopped me getting fed up of not being able to work in the garden!
Thank you Janey! I didn't know how it was going to turn out! Bit like doing a jigsaw! lol

Love your colours, Rose! Think Julia nailed it, contemporary art.
It's a vivid and cheerful interpretation.
Well done!

Thank you Kate!

Wow,Rose,I love your painting,and had no idea you were so talented. The colours and shapes are so cheerful,and thank you for showing this to us all,and I hope you will carry on doing some more ..! xx

Thanks Sandra! I will be doing another one while the weather is so awful, but probably water colours this time. xx

Well-painted Rose and the arrangement of the flowers is good. Acrylics are not easy to paint with, as I've tried them myself, and I much prefer watercolours. Keep going and the ideas will flood in.

Thanks Linda, but may go back to water colours.

I used to paint in oils and loved that medium, but I had an extra space to do that in as it takes a while for the paint to dry. You can slosh that around and mix the colours on the board, and paint thick or thin layers on to the canvas.

I have never tried that Linda! I have the space but not confident to do that!
