Vibrant Roses

I absolutely adore this painting that I found online and wanted to try to reproduce it's image. I love roses and I am amazed by the color red in oil paintings so this was a magnificent challenge for me.You can see the progress of this painting by clicking my flickr icon on the right - this is part of my art class series of lessons.

I am very proud of my vibrant reds in my final painting and am also extremely appreciative of good lighting. When this canvas is in good light, it is lovely.
