I think that you did really well with your color washes. I know how hard watercolors are. Each leaf has it's own unique pattern and character. Love the way they area arranged in a pleasant way with the small flowers beneath them. The colors are pretty and work well. Nice work, Linda.

Comment from Miranda Langston


this is such a cute and creative design. the different patterns and colours on the leaves really give this a jovial/whimsical vibe. that plus the softness of the flowers makes this a great painting :)

Linda, your style and water color technique hit the jackpot here. The leaves are fabulous with the each one having its own unique appeal. Their design and colors are well chosen so that as a grouping they are also artistically appealing. The little garden below is pleasantly fanciful and appears to be reaching up touch the leaves. All the rendering is spot on for me. Excellent!

Wonderful initial impact: I see a field of wildflowers of various shapes and colors, they is a slight breeze giving movement to the flowers shown by their various positions, the paisley patterns give this a whimsical feel, the leaves are falling over the field of flowers, I can see depth between the leaves and the field , I love the concept and design of this work and the colors are visually pleasing and work nicely together . This is well thought out and created, it's unique and I really enjoyed viewing this one! Well presented!
