    love the detail of the petals Jim and such a beautiful deep red colour – also like the touch of contrast colour with the green in the buds :-)

    Jim, this one just absolutely POPS off the screen. You captured that wonderful, fully vibrant red of the geranium. And, you captured that lovely and soft folding of the petals as well. I do love how you find a direct contrast between colors and textures and paint it beautifully. Gorgeous!

  • Jim Phillips replied

    Very sweet compliment Carolyn, thank you very much.

    Ah what a sight!!! Gorgeous colour and a sure winner!!

  • Jim Phillips replied

    Thanks very much Avril. I guess it’s time now for me to tackle one of those landscapes now. I don’t want people to think all of them are in Ireland. LOL

  • Avril Brand

    Avril Brand

    Oh never! That will not do… LOL… looking forward to your landscape, Jim… please make it an Irish one! ;-)

    I was thinking about this one and thought of a couple Groups that would marvel over it:
    COLOR ME VIBRANT RED, and here are all the flower Groups I could find as of today 04 Oct 2008: flowers
    All About Flowers
    Fabulous Flowers
    Floral Energy … Flower Power
    Spring Blooms
    Sunflowers
    In my opinion, which I know you didn’t ask for, more Groups = more exposure= more chances to sell art. And meet people.

  • Jim Phillips replied

    Thank you ever so much Dayonda. I actually belong to a couple of these groups. I couldn’t agree with you more about the exposure. That’s why I post on about five other web sites as well. Thanks so very much for the favoring and the addition to your watchlist. That is much appreciated.
