Allan,
Amongst the roses she appears to be the most brilliant and the love really shines in her eyes. I, too, enjoy studying it.

Allan,
I am a bit late in joining the chorus of praise here.
Another sensitive, personal and strong piece in your inimitable fashion. I am sure she was very pleased. I admire very much how you simplify elements by your use of colour and still manage to convey much information.
Congratulations!

Gracias, Carlos,
I do believe she likes it, because she said so.......... she is so terrible honest 
Yes, I try to make the brushmarks look painted, there's plenty of room for variations using different brushes and knife plus thinned and pastose paint, enough to emulate various textures.

Just beautiful. I love your lively brushstrokes, masterfully done.
The picture is so well balanced in composition, colours, your portrayal of the background.
Great your wife was thrilled!

One of the things I like about your work, Alan, is the way you keep stretching yourself artistically. You have done such a wonderful job with strong color here - it is beautifully painted, with fresh and direct color shifts in the face. Very nice work, once again!
