I love your rendition of this marvelous flower. So beautifully created with real talent behind the tools. The colors and shading are perfection.

Thank you so much, artist Linda. This review coming from such outstanding artist as yourself means so much to me. I am endeavoring to get back to doing more water colors well as I used to work in them. Bless you always in your fine art. Your realistic drawing and other works are so outstanding.

Thank you for your interesting notes accompanying this lovely painting of the Lilies. I love the detail you've painted in the petals and stamens. The dotted green background sets them off well. Great use of light and shade. Lovely composition. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

Thank you, artist friend, for such a wonderful review and mountain of encouragement. I meant to include that the Tiny Bells do have a white outline of the petals. Also, thanks for the keen insight and high rating of "6".

It?s a good one glenna

Comment from Marko Paradisi
beautiful piece! love the reds and pinks with the green backdrop! the composition is nice with the two lilies and isn't crowded at all. the white outlines stick out and throw the piece a bit for me but overall it's a nice beautiful art piece

Thank you for the review and insight on most of the piece; I forgot to include that the "Tiny Bells" have a white outline around the petals. I will try to include this in the future and hope you will reconsider and give at least a 4.5 or a 5. I have received several 6s already. Thanks again.

Beautiful lilies! Very well created with accurate shape and structure, I like the way you have positioned them on the green background. Well applied colors, I like the red and punk tones, good attention to the details that define the lily, nice tall stamens !
Very well arranged and presented! I appreciate your notes as well!

Comment from Christine389
Beautiful detail in these lovely lilies, I really like the composition and displaying them on the bright green background really makes them pop and gives an almost 3D effect with the intricate white outline. I enjoyed your detailed notes too and I agree, it is interesting how different types of flowers and their colours traditionally have certain meanings.

Yes, it is interesting about these meanings. Your descriptive review means so much to me and I thank you for that, for reviewing, and for the good rating, artist friend. Also, I forgot to include that the "Tiny Bells" have a white outline around the petals.

A good looking image posted here into the competition together with comprehensive and interesting notes too! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that pair of lovely blooms. Colours, textures and tones are good. Well painted and good luck!

We all imbibe from nature consciously or unconsciously. That shows in our works. This
traditional painting is a wonderful celebration of the beauty of the flowers, and I love how you've captured the many colors and textures. I also like your notes very much. Good luck in the contest! Here goes my last six for the week. Cheers!
