Gorgeous! They look so papery and delicate.

love the look of these Diana, great work again.

Diana superb Lantins and background. But what do you feel about the stark white?

Brilliantly beautiful Diana.

Beautifully painted seed pods, Diana, so delicately done. I like the white areas, it gives the colours a nice lift (if that makes sense!)
