Very nice artwork. I love the whole flow of the flowers with the dragonflies. Just the right amount of contrasting colors and perfect setting for light. Well composed artwork. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Very much liking your garden themes. I think the pouring background works really well. Will have to look into this. Did you use any dabbing material on it? This painting is very subtle in places but it really has something - the more you look the more you see. A real subtle depth. Well done.

    Thank you. Yes I used brushes and a sponge on the pour as I did not like rage first look of it.
Comment from Mr Jones


this is really beautiful and amazing. lovely production of fine blooms and delightful dragon flies. great in the way in merges. almost looks oldy worldy, or an image on a fine cloth. you have given this one a special treatment.

I like the dreamy vintage like look the soft colors offer here Linda.
The flying dragonflies add life to this beautiful flower scene.
How a painter creates light is a mystery to me but you have done it and it is what makes this so special.
Nice work Linda ;)

Wow Linda!!! This is amazing! I like all the different types of flowers. I also like how you did the dragon flies... the wings look very detailed!!! They all look transparent. Good job!

Comment from Trajan


Oh yeah! Thumbs up on this Linda!
It has the amazing 19 century art nouveau feel to it.
And it reminds me of a Gustav Klimt.
I hope you frame and preserve this well. Really beautiful!
The dragonfly emerging from the mist it quite enthralling and cast a spell upon the viewer. Not unlike a quiet cold morning in the garden with a cuppa tea, biscuit and a sketch pad.
Woot!!

    Gustavo Klimt! Wow! What a wonderful compliment. Thank you so very much.

Most I like the stylish simplicity of your painting. I think the flowers and dragonflies are well placed onto the experimental background. I personally believe that the background behind the dragonflies could use stronger [darker] coloring, so that the insects and flowers at the right stand out more.

A lovely garden scene as the clematis vine climbs to the light with dragonflies swooping around. Nice soft colors make this a calming image. Good details. Well imagined and created.

another for you garden book, it is lovely, with the insects making noises as they flutter by.. Please don't put your pours on, I don't review them, as I cannot see how I can guage them for expertise, which this is about.
