Roses

A vibrant study of roses rendered in acrylic, their layered petals dissolving into warm, overlapping hues of pink, orange, red and yellow. The composition centres on full blooms set against soft green foliage, the forms suggestive rather than literal, with colour and gesture taking precedence over precise botanical detail. The painting demonstrates the impressionist approach that characterises Petro Neal’s practice, where bold, fresh application of pigment conveys both the sensuous abundance of the flowers and an underlying spiritual intention.
