I love this painting. The colors are soft and remind me of a watercolor in a children book. The contrast between the foreground and background add just the right amount of depth. Love it!

A beautiful water color. I like the earth tones and the great composition. The bee is well detailed and the white flowers are beautiful. Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from Neilnap773

advise taken well i believe as the flowers have come alive with your excellent tonal control and this is particularly difficult with water colours to achieve such a 3D effect so well done , a nice composition

Each one of your paintings get better and better. I think you did a great job of painting white flowers. Great use of negative space. The overall design and composition is wonderful.

This is truly a lovely painting. I love the soft, earthy colors that you used. I agree that white is very difficult to paint in watercolors but you have done a great job here. The bee was also a nice touch. Well done and very creative. :)

Thank you. It has been a struggle but I think I am improving.

This is a fine idea for a still life. The limited colors are pleasing the eyes. I like the attention you paid to detail of the stamens and pollen. It makes the viewer understand what attracts the bee to the flower. I personally would darken some of the petals so that the appear more distinct from each other. I think that the framing is a bit tight at the left and above, but the composition works.
