Linda , it's a very cool piece which I like !
Your color scheme is amazing and flows extremely well .
You have captured the depth in such an amazing way .
Linda I see that you started with Watercolors . Pastels was the final application ?
It's a wonderful entry and the best of luck !

    Thank you. Acrylics was the last application. I used liquid watercolors to create the depth in the background that I wanted. I then spritzed the watercolors with rubbing alcohol to create a blended and mottled effect you often see when viewing the interior of foliage. I also used a blending medium in the acrylics so that I could extend the drying time. This allowed me to add a color on top of a color and blend right on the canvas in the manner of wet on wet oils. It is fun and you do not have to wait so long for a piece to dry as you do when working in oils. Hope you try the technique on one of your wonderful creations.

Another for your book of gardens. This one is a summer garden, the colours are stronger, more is blooming, the air is filled with this and that from different blossoms. It is a lovely time, a lovely picture.Reminds me of Hungary on a visit.

How pretty we all need some cheerful shots that just make us feel good and bring a smile. This does that for me and does make a lovely birthday card. Happy Birthday Mary Lynn :)

If this were gift wrapping paper, I would buy the shop's entire stock! You have created such a lovely and interesting palette of pinks with so many shades. The few green leaves are just the right amount. I love everything about this photo and think you should try and sell it as a greeting card. I just had some Mother's Day cards printed at Walgreens and was very pleased with the quality. Shutterfly also does outstanding printing.

That's a nice birthday gift for a friend! The colors are so nice, your abstract flowers are recognizable. I see beautiful spring garden of daisies, tulips, peonies and different flowers I don't know. So lovely and creative, Linda!!!
