Gorgeous! Totally worth that special tube of permanent rose.

Agree about the color. And nice to see it AND the way you've painted geraniums. Thanks as always

Very nice... I especially like the abstract shapes of the blossoms in shadow. Bravo!

Beautiful! But oh no! Is it raining like the day I painted roses
In the rain?

Perfect!
Every brushstroke creates another leaf or petal. Magic!

Painter’s notes

“This idea is a direct steal from the workshops, the big pots of geraniums turned out to be so popular as a subject I had to bring in a special tube of permanent rose to try and deal with the nearly fuschia color of the flower heads... these are on our own terrace back at home and a more standard red orange in color.”
