This watercolour painting of sunflowers is very well rendered. Lovely smooth brushwork!. Delicate application of the watercolours. The shading is just fine. Overall a very good effort.Good luck!

This is a lovely mage that would look great on anyone's wall, especially in a sunroom. Nicely drawn to catch the feel of the flowers. Nice details. Love that one is a bud.Good composition good colors. I like the gradated background. Well done.

This is a very beautiful painting - I love specially your detail work on the leaves as it shows the love for detail - I also love the different positions of the flowers in our space and the little bud as continuation in the cycle of evolution - your color application is excellent - the soft background in soft purple fits it perfectly - a very attractive work
remark: it is always difficult to make genuine picture's from handcraft art and the photograph can take away from the perfection of the real canvas - I think you can play a bit with contrast of your image to let the colors and details stand out more so contrast between the colors are better visible - this has nothing to do with your perfect work it just would show it better. Best of luck for Contest

    Thank you so much Regina. Unfortunately I do not know how to use the software for adjusting the image to look more like the canvas. I am looking for a class. Thank you for your very helpful suggestions.

    You can just go to authomatic adjustments with any program even if done with a cell phone you can adjust contrast or just "denoise it "

    I see -- Dick also has an iPad - he found out stunning things just by doing... like me, just by intuition

Cool!
That's a very attractive watercolor painting,my friend!
It's colorful and pleasantly 'Cheery' in tone and it has a great Classic sort of look to it that makes it very enjoyable to view!

Sunflowers are such a favorite, they are happy and uplifting to view, I really like this piece with the trio of sunflowers, I am impressed by your arrangement and the way you created one facing forward, one from a side angle and one still not fully bloomed, I like very much the way you colored your background with the pale creamy pink tones on top and the deep blue violet tones on the bottom, the supporting greenery is also very well created and colored. This is a beautiful scene , it would make a lovely greeting card face as well as a beautiful addition to a dining room wall.very well created and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

I like the soft vintage like style, the great details, textures and Beautiful colors. I really like the soft purple in the background and the lovely sunflower Blooms and one lone bud.

    Thank you so much. I like the paper better than the canvas board even though it is more expensive.
