Come into the Garden

Thanks DeenieM.

Stunning!!

Wow it’s so beautiful, great choice of colours, lights and darks are perfect, what else can I say but wow, you are so talented

did you really do this oh my god its so real and colourful

This is just beautiful, the colours are so vibrant and it looks so real, well done

You have such skill! This work is simply stunning. I have to admit I’m envious of your talent – that’s probably why I’m a photographer. I can’t paint or draw the beauty I see (to save it for later), so I make photographs. Anyway, great work!

magic again..gorgeous work you do!!!

Sheer perfection. Beautiful piece of work, Susan.

Beautiful work Susan..how wonderful to be able to paint like this..what medium did you use/..I thought at first it was a photo..it does look so real !!

Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments.

My medium is alkyds. This is a slow drying oil paint made by Winsor Newton. The thing I like best about alkyds is that the paint is dry by the next day which makes it easy to keep working on the painting.

Congratulations, Susan. Your work is beautiful:-) I had no idea that alkyds dried so quickly. THis is certainly an advantage over traditional oil paints.
