Fantastic texture in the background Carole, sets off the delicately smooth lilly a treat. Is it just acr.ink, or did you use anything else ?

It's all been said Carole, except that the flower itself looks so full and 3D. Colours- gorgeous.

Really lovely Carole. I've probably said those words many times about your floral paintings but they are lovely :)
