I am really honestly surprised at the lack of color in the piece. The flowers draw your eye, and I am personally not sure if they detract or not. Overall it is well done and very "easy on the eye"...

Artist Reply: Thank you for the comment/ critique. I didn't want to take away from the beauty, of the woodwork, only accent it with mere highlights. I wanted it also to serenade the eye of the viewer.Thanks again, your critiques are a value to me.
