I so enjoy your notes about the creation process, Linda. I think this has been a huge success. The flower arrangement is very artistic and the colors are beautiful with lovely texture and depth. An immediately appealing still life. Well done!

Gorgeous watercolor with beautiful color palette. Good blending and shading of colors with wonderful details.
I like you placement of the vase and flowers off center in your scene. Good differentiation and contrast in your work. A good balance of tones and shapes and colors. Your background and foreground work and colors compliment your art work. A creative and talent art work. Thanks for sharing!

A fine rendering of a still life of vase with flowers. I like the gentle washes of the watercolours and the balance of shapes and colours you have achieved. Thanks for sharing!

Nice still life study of these flowers in a blue vase. I like that you are experimenting with new ways to present the medium. This is basically an encaustic, I like the variety of color and the off center composition. Nice "lighting." Good visual definition. Well done.

Nice to see you back Linda ;)
I like the vintage like look to this and the soft subdued colors used. I understand you struggled with it, but your persistence paid off.
It's lovely.
Welcome Back :)
