Mr. Weiss, I love your work. And I enjoy following your posts. Full disclosure, I am an artist and teacher, with opinions. A peer, so to speak.

Re. Red Rhodies #7: You didn't ask, but if you did, I'd say: Orange is too loud. Takes me away from lively, spontaneous flowers.

Thank you Carlene!

Thank you Lucy! Always interesting to get the different takes on what appeals to viewers of my art. Your critiques are much appreciated.

oooo Robin! love this one! I cannot agree with Lucy. I like how the orange in the red cloth lends balance to the overall piece. I also like how the rhodies are splayed up to the left of the painting. Excellent piece! here in New Mexico we have what are called "character" trees for the garden for which people pay booocou bucks. Having an irregular shape just makes for a more appealing esthetic. love it!!
