A Rose From Years Gone By

I wanted this rose to look like one I'd seen on Painted Fabric years

ago when I was in Italy. It was in a little shop window attached to a

Canvas Board. I am of course going from memory, I just

remembered how much I wanted to buy it and bring it home to my

Mother whom I knew would love it. Unfortunately I could not afford it,

but the memory remains with me still. (Thankyou for dropping by,

Gail)

This reminds me of curtain material . I would have liked the rose itself to have less texture overlay . Just my opinion . Bill

That's okay Bill, it was a particular look from a memory I was going for, perhaps I'll do one on it's own just for you. !

Your garden is lovely Bill, I don't know how you have the time to take care of it!!! thankyou for sharing, Gail

Nice presented,original in this way,my best regards.

Really pretty image Gail. Well composed too. Nice work.

I still think you'd be happy if you started working in Photoshop. For example I think it would make it easier to create the look of fabric in something like this.

A funny thing happened a few minutes ago. One of my coworkers (yes I'm at work), looked like they were coming into my office. I imaged that I would tell them that I was commenting on the work of one of my friends. I think a lot of Photo.netters feel like you are their friend.

Very fantastic work, dear Gail.. Very well done.. Regards.. 

Very artistic and great processing. Congrats.

VERY GOOD WORK

This is so charming Gail. It really has the look of vintage or antique fabric.  I love the textures in the background. It is beautifully composed, the colours are wonderful. You are amazing, you manage to turn out wonderful creative work one after the other. You have such a creative mind.  Have you ever tried painting on fabric? This would be gorgeous on silk. Best wishes, Linda

Lovely textured composition Gail, I love the warm tones that make a very pleasant picture! cheers, Art

Delightful!! Always excellent, Gail.

A splendid composition with beautiful colours and textures...Regards
