Very lifelike. I feel I can almost reach into the painting and pick up the rose.

Thanks for looking, I enjoyed painting on this larger scale and plan to do more.

Thanks Pj,

Excellent observation. Believe it or not, I deliberately loaded the panel with thick gesso to try and create an impasto-like surface to paint on. I wanted chunky but you are right, I got distracting instead. Lesson learned!

Thank you, I'm working on a small landscape right now, we'll see how that goes.
