Not clumsy Carole, they are melting....perhaps, there is a lot of it about! Lol Love the subject matter and the application of paint, especially the granulation.

Quite exquisite Carole, talent in abundance.

Carole, this is so lovely The textures in those greens and the sharp lines of the dandelion leaves. Dandelions are such beautiful flowers at all stages of life.

"Cabalito del diablo" (little horseman of the devil) is the Spanish description of the dragon fly. Nice work Carole.

I second your comments about the weather, but it doesn't seem to have affected you. This is super work.

Never mind the wings Carole, for me the real star of this is the area with the dandelion leaf and head which stand out against the light background, and it’s not that clumsy anyway.
