It has been a while since I have posted anything here. This is was done in Painter using pastel brushes. I took the original inspiration photo while in Thailand a coupleof months ago.

this is beautiful!

Gorgeous, adore the colors!!

love it

Thank you all for your comments and encouragement.

Pretty painting.

Don't you just love those Painter pastels?

Cheryl

Great job. I've been trying to learn Painter but have had some problems. Does anyone ever have a problem with the program slowing down? For example, you try to move your stylus around and the cursor lags behind? How do you fix that or can you? I'm using a new intel iMac.

Any suggestions?

Orlando,

Some brushes can be processing intensive. Your computer specs are important. Things like CPU speed and memory will make a difffernece in what you are experieincing.

Dave, I really like the composition of this as well as your use of the brushes! Very nice!

Kathy

Very colorful. Good composition. I like it a lot.

The colors are outstanding...this is just an eye catcher!!

Thank you for your comments. I like the bold colors yet simple form of these flowers also.

Dave

Sweet work, very nice

Very few flowers smell as good & you have done a very creative work in Painter. Excellent.

This is definitely a hanger Dave.

Thank you all. I do intend to make a 20 x30 gallery wrap canvas out of this.

Dave

Wow, it looks like a slightly soft photo. It's really amazing imo.

Wow! That's fabulous! Wish I knew how to do that.
Are there any books or videos you'd recommend?

Thanks! I'll get one. --Ordering it now!
Step-by-step books do me best. I got the Wow book once (a few editions ago) and got lost in it.
