Inspired by a great artists work by Robert Bateman I thought I would try my spin on the subject and created this painting with big dollaps of paint on the tree trunk where the light hits. I am so in love with this painting it is in my personal collection. A beautiful portrait of a big cat.

'Roses are Red'
Realist portraiture and expressionist florals collide.
Full blushes of petals fold your eye into the painting, electric blue delightfully punctuates the dream. Melissa Sharplin's signature flawless portraiture in a fresh direction, enveloped in rich pattern and delicious colour on striking black.
The finish of the painting is a hand-poured top coat of glossy resin. Irresistible!
Please search for prints of roses to purchase her square.
