Beautiful work all and a really nice photo. My tries

[GerryB]

The rose is so pretty I couldn't resist another try. This one is an AHB on one layer. I created layer below the rose, made a selection of the rose and filled it with pink and gave it a radial blur. Finally, I created a layer below that and used a radial gradient with pink and purple.

[Kraellin]

thanks, palms. you're a sweetheart

Hi all, nice work.

Hey Palms, when I click on your link for your AH work it goes back to the home page, I really like your style of painting. How can I get to your AH link so that I can start learning?
Thanks heaps

[palms]

Palms

[amica999]

Thank you, Palms

[GerryB]

Thank you for the kind words, Palms. I really like flowers and the rose is my favorite. When I was younger, my wife asked if I would buy her a rose bush for our front yard. I bought 2 dozen rose bushes, each a different color. We had the prettiest front yard in the neighborhood.

Alas, we moved from that neighborhood almost 30 years ago and I never got around to putting a rose garden in our yard. Now I only have 5, and with my back problems, I can't even go out and work on them. At least I can look at them, though.

Gerry shame about the rose garden can you not get patio roses over there ? then they can go in pots so not so much bending down ?

Thanks Palms, that link now works.

Just out of interest, approximately how long does it take you to do each painting?
You seem to of mastered the technique

[Kraellin]

a little psp and a little filter forge.

[Kraellin]

i had to do another psp and filter forge.

[0lBaldy]

The Ladies here deserve more than just One!

[palms]

Enhancer glad the link works now, now how long does it take ? sometimes a matter of minutes and others can take longer but usually not more than half a hour

two more nice ones Craig that second one looks well spiky

Ol Baldy now who is being Mr smooth ? lovely work again

Since my wife and I have been retired (5 years now), we've been doing a lot of traveling and I don't have as much time as I would like to take care of a garden now. Maybe in the future when we have got the wanderlust out of our system I will consider a potted rose collection or even a raised rose garden. With either of those I should be able to do some maintenance with little effort. In the meantime I will continue to admire them and work on pictures, etc.
