Bumblebee and Rose

 IMG_8386-002

 

Acrylic on mountboard.

First time I tried acrylic on mountboard, probably not the best surface to use but it worked in the end. The paint tends to skip quite a lot.

    I agree with Cathy!
    Fantastic!
    Was the board too smooth? Must admit, I would never have known you had had any trouble. The flowers are great and the leaves and stems are wonderful.

    Phil, This is fabulous and I surely can't tell it was a difficult surface.

    Your art is always so luscious!

    The leaves seem like photographed, they're so perfect! The flowers contrast beautifully with the black background. And I love the little bumblebee who adds life and fantasy to the whole piece, it seems to come from the night towards the light and color!
