Comment from Zilyram
Beautiful colour and digital work remind me a little of cornflower flowers. The posy is well composed and the framing enhances the overall picture.

Oh my gosh the poem is so beautiful. Beautiful painting and digital creation. Technical excellence is so good. Beautiful colors with various shades of blues and small flowers create a nice accent as the lights and shadows on the green leafs. Technique is so good. Very nice Art.

You are so welcome MoonWillow, beautiful!

Comment from cleo85
I like your poem as well as your painting. The two are a pear which belong to each other. I guess the little white flowers in your creation are the Bachelor's Buttons you gathered for your mom. It is a beautiful bouquet. Wildflowers, prettier than many bought at a store. I like the colors. The white Bachelor Buttons and green leaves go well with the dominant blue of the Corn Flowers. It seems perfect that the frame picks up that blue. The vase in the background is a fine idea. It shows where the flowers will be soon. Its unusual and therefore more ingesting than a flower bouquet in a vase.

Thank you so much, Cleo. Actually it's the purple flowers that REMINDED me of bachelor's buttons. If you look them up on the Internet, you'll see that they are fairly close, not exact, but close. There was a short cut through a wooded area going to and from school where there were always a lot of wild flowers... the bachelor's buttons were my fave. Again, thank you for the wonderful comments. :))

Thank you so much, Angel! According to the Humane Society, if you feed a stray animal, he's yours. I think they push that more regarding cats, lol. Anyway, you've been feeding that bulldong for nearly a year, so you can't just turn him loose! Beside, I already have a bulldog--a boxer, and I don't think I'm going to end up with another bulldog anyway. There are those that are hell bent for leather, and I'm beyond worrying about it. Again, thank you, Angel, and I thank you sincerely for the beautiful stars. :))

Comment from SCHATZLING
I fell in love with your artistic creation. The colors are warm and inviting. The inner frame same color excellent choice.
I only have positive things so say about this digital art.
Nice touch adding the memory of picking flowers for your mom coming home from school. It made me miss my sons....but not sad; rather just pleasant memories.
Thanks for sharing.
