HI Ray, I wish you would do more images like this! Love the way you made the frame around the flowers different colors! I think it has a very pretty effect. I do know though you really enjoy doing your abstract images. You did a nice job arranging the lilies and have them POP out of the frame. The image is very attractive and a good entry for the "Line Art Contest! Good Luck! :o) Nancy

This is as eye catching as a piece of art can get Ray. The colored lines create a 3D effect and really pushes the flowers to the front of the canvas.

To me pencil drawings have always appeared to me to be so delicate and fragile. To say that there is sharp short scale contrast would be understating this fine piece of your original art.

This is one I would definitely frame, well done... Bob

    Lynn I am glad you enjoy this. I love Peruvian Lilies and this is more of a design piece, wouldn't your agree? The colored lines serve a purpose, they anchor the design so it doesn't float around like a balloon. Thank you again . Ray

With delicate lines and hues, this lovely drawing takes shapes on the paper, capturing the essence of the beauty of the flower. Very well done. I like the 3D effect. Good luck!

Comment from Jack Moore


When I first looked at this I could not believe that it was from you, I am not use to seeing this type of work. It is a great piece for the contest. I like how the flowers are coming out of the frame, they are drawn really well. It is really something to see a different kind of work from you but I wish you the best in the contest. Thanks for sharing and best of luck. JackJr.

    JackJr thank you for all the compliments and a wonderful review. It is nice to know you enjoy my work. I try to be different when I create and I like to give the viewer something to talk about, similar to, when you capture a beautifully colored, fall sequence. Thanks for the luck.. Ray

This is fabulous line work. It must've taken forever! I love the border you created around the flowers.It makes them pop. Really great design work and structure.
