Another lovely job with this one MoonWillow! Love the title.It fits so well with the flowers.I like how they take up the whole space with just alittle blackened background showing.The leaves are a very nice contrasting color.Nice detail and shading as well.

Another stunning piece. I love the richness of the reds and the use of color and shadow to draw you into the center of the picture. Great detail. Nice composition, makes a big impression on the piece only working with a couple colors in different hues to keep you interested. The use of negative space also adds to the overall piece.

Very, very nice color. I really like the vibrant red contrasting against the black. This actually fooled me at first, I thought it was a photo until I full-viewed it.

As for your question about the halo you get from sharpening, that's usually a sign that you're using too much. If you try simply decreasing the sharpening until the halos diminish, you may find that it is still sharp enough. My experience is with photography however, and you also didn't mention what software you're using, so what I said may not apply. Without knowing more, that's my best guess though.

Beautiful the red is so intense and the depth of tones in the daisy's is fantastic. The center of the daisy's stand out well and are full of detail Once again you have contrasted the red with the green background this creates amazing impact.
Excellent work.
I havn,t been a member long and wanted to ask with digital painting, according to FAR is every thing created on the computer or can you start out with a scan and work on top.
Thank's for sharing your lovely work.

Another beauty. Red is a favorite color of mine so this is gorgeous to me. Such nice composition. the filtered light shining on them is so pretty. If I had a 6, you would get it.

Cant help you re digital stuff. sorry. As is your norm, you have captured lovely balance here. A well thought out composition that is very eye-catching in its simplicity. Very pleasing altogether, I loved viewing it. I look forward to the roses. Robin
