i think its a really beautiful painting. i really love the colors and, should I say, angles in it. would love to see in the flesh as something is always lost in a painting when your not physically in front of it.

congrats.

Thank you so much everyone! It's very funny you should say that taffsdad because, although it is a painting of a Bird of Paradise flower, I had a phoenix rising from the flames in mind whilst I painted it! Well interpreted!

From the ART COMMENTS group:

I really enjoy the muscle and physicality of your paint. Very cool piece of painting. And I can see what you mean about wanting us to see it in the flesh... it looks like you've got loads of colours hidden in layers there, that are just being obscured by the two-dimensionality of your camera.

Thank you so much everyone! I'd love to set up prints of this but sadly I can't find any English sites that will do it and the American sites won't do it because I'm English. If anyone has any ideas of how I can get around this then please let me know. PS I can't afford to publish a load of prints myself.

Full of interesting colour and texture. I'm not sure how well it's possible to capture this in a photo but that's a pretty good attempt. Perhaps a slightly stronger flash would highlight the tactile quality more.
