Beautiful flowers and leaves! Love the way you use the water colors! Beautiful and bold yet soft!
Artist Reply: thank you vivian for the comments... it's often a task for me not to over paint with the boldness, as watercolor is "said" to be onlysoft -- i appreciate that you see the balance of both.
A green thumb and an artists eye :) Excellent painting !!~****~!!
Artist Reply: i do love growing flowers, with every effort to keep them in bloom... being in the desert these are especially wonderful to behold, and quite difficult to keep alive. thank you for the comments to be sure...
i have two of these sitting on my kichen window sill but they don't hold a candle to this piece stunning work
Artist Reply: ah, you make me blush! thre is something about flowers that just calls me to the art table to paint. i suppose that your muse happens elsewhere -- thank goodness for diversity! i appreciate your comments stan...
Artist Reply: thanks Thomas -- am glad you left comments for i wouldn;t have had to chance to view your most EXCELLENT gallery/portfolio of works... WOW! will spend some time there myself... your comments are much appreciated.
Artist Reply: alberto, good to hear from you - glad you like the caladiums in pink. more on those to come for sure, only those will have bent the rules of realism... always love your comments and your art as well.

Artist Reply: hello marilyn! yes, it's been too long since i could start and finish works... feels good. glad to hear from you with positive comments... you are the best of the best!
Wow! The different shades of green are so pretty in the leaves and that background texture (pattern) blends in perfectly.
Artist Reply: thank you joan, leaves have never been my strong point, just tried to capture the look and feel... always i get lost in the backgrounds of work, even though most don't even notice!
