This 14" x 11" acrylic was painted for a monthly challenge. A photograph of the original topic is posted and the artist does their own version of the original image. Sandy

Sandy, the more I look at this, the more I like it. I may use your idea of the ocean background for one of the variation themes I am planning for different sizes of this to sell locally. I really enjoyed this project and I loved the way everyone looked at this with different eyes. This is just gorgeous Sandy, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to hang it on my wall.

How did you get all those soft edges? It looks like you gor some nice bleeding and watercolor effects. I like the looseness! Have any suggestions? Margaret Stanton

Beautiful. I love the compostion. I think more value changes in the flowers would add interest and depth.

This is beautiful Sandy! I like the different pot designs and the direction of the light....coming in from behind them.

Hi Michele and Jess...Thank you both for your responses to my painting. Michele...I thought about having more variation in tone (flowers) but chose not to as I thought it would get too "busy". Jess...The light was "the thing" for me in this painting....glad you like it too. Cheers Sandy
