Monet's Rose Garden

Visited Monet's garden in France, the flowers were spectacular! Can see why he was so inspired.

I love these! The colors are so subtle and delicate! And I don't have one rose in my yard!

Sense you asked, I would give it more depth in the background. Mix the green with a red for the darks. Try to make one flower the focal point. Maybe on your next painting, not this one.

I'm still learning though...

On my next flower painting I won't put one on top of the other.

The technical portion of this painting is great. I believe the composition would be helped if there were 3 flowers instead of 2 and that they were not aligned vertically but oblique and in a random pattern. From a distance the present composition tends to divide the painting with a vertical white line in the center right of the painting making it somewhat static.

Simply a hobby that I love and would love to have more time to do! Any suggestions appreciated. Am self taught and have been painting for about 6 years but very sporadically as I am a busy wife of a travelling fanatic and a grandmother of 13.
