Thank you so very much, and for encouragement and these details:)
Comment from Life is but a dream.
I really like the lightness of this upload, think you can call it the Dance of Blues.
By way of your compositional style you have given this image dynamism by the lean of some and the noble straightness of others.
Where you can improve is to make it punchier, louder, more vibrant and by a simple manipulation of tonal values you need more dark...( my art teacher always used to tell me that about my art ). For a piece of art to jump out you need very light through to very dark and you really don't have this here save for the centres, the uniform centers of each flower. Can you see how the same tonal value of background to flowers gives a lack luster feel to the overall presentation?
I do like your stroke handling and the drawing looks like it was handled by a confident artist. It is a happy upload.

I will call it that; wish I'd thought of it. I really appreciate the detail in this review:)
Comment from Dick Lee Shia
The sketches are so light and breezy.
The blue and violet blooms are visually cool.
However, the yellow backdrop are not uniformly rendered.
They grabbed attention instead of supporting the subject.
You can darken the leaves a bit because some of the yellow colors merge.
More definition of outlines and you're there. Nice attempt.

Thanks so very much, I will try to fix this. I realized chalk wasn't going to show well, a bit late though:)

Love the soft tones of color and different blues, like the shading and nice frame. Beautiful composition and presentation, a simple and beautiful job. Well done.

Comment from johnmyr
As art goes this is just a tad too simple for my liking. The way that the blue flowers seem to be leaning into the frame of focus is intresting

Thanks so much, Doris. I'm fine, and yes, but just didn't get on this art project soon enough. Hope you are doing great:)
Comment from FBI GUY
Very simple, clean images are pleasant to look at. The colors are fun and playful. The only question: is there too many blossoms at the top of the scene.
