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 :-)

No problem Linda, I thought you first comment was very kind.
Terri Chandler
All I can say is….LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! it! The background colors compliment so well with the beautiful red of the Geranium. Wonderful job Jim!
Jim Phillips replied
Thank you Terri. Cindy told me her “Pumkin Picture” came in. Let me know how it looks.
Carolyn Staut
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.

Avril Brand
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
Oh never! That will not do… LOL… looking forward to your landscape, Jim… please make it an Irish one! ;-)
Dayonda
More good work!
Dayonda
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.
