Very beautiful indeed. I love the tones of blue/green/purple that you used. They work very harmoniously together. All seem to be anatomically correct as well. Great job here. Keep them coming.

I would certainly buy the bulbs of these flowers if they ever got the lilies this beautiful lilac colour. Lovely composition and the dark background works well again the colour. I would say moonlight giving the dabble of light. beautifully done

LOL. Maybe the color depends on the soil. :) Thanks for the great review, Sandy! :)

Ah Moon...
This would most assuredly be a garden of magical proportions. The colours used are some kind of sweet. This is a painting that gives one hope on a dark day.
Well done.

Just beautiful! My favorite color and in such lovely shades. I really like the way you have done the lighting, it looks like it is filtering through overhanging trees, exactly like it is hidden in a deep forest. the little sprigs of white flowers make for nice contrast.

Comment from Angelheart The First
I am a little late with this review
but my computer works when
it wants to lately.Anyway,the
impact of this is outstanding
because of the beautiful color
and lighting work that you did.
This presentation really has a lot of class and elegance.The
lighting also gives it a dramatic
look about it also.I would most
definitely give this one a six star if I could,so once again,it's
a "virtual one"
Thanks so much Shawn for sharing this one.You did a great job with it!
Hoppy Easter!
Angelheart :)
