More roses! I liked the unusual shadow pattern, which I've treated fairly abstractly. From a ref photo that I took. Comments and critiques werlcome.
Oil on 16x12 in, 40x30 cm canvas.

Jim, Silvana and Ann, very nice words and encouragement - thank you.
Ann, thanks for your observations - I'm pondering them.
I like the loose style of the roses, vase and the background but the shadow shapes in the front don't seem to me to compliment the arrangement. They are a little too round and the hues used for foreground don't echo the rest of the painting. I scrolled up on the photo to cute off the bottom 1/3 of the painting and I like the dark shadows to anchor the vase but some of the dark and ochery shapes are a little distracting for the eye. Just something for you to think about.
They are really nice Michael!
Outstanding!
