Sea Holly in the Moonlight ( whole updated version) by Carole Swingler

I missed your first sea holly painting. It's gorgeous but this one is even more so! It's truly wonderful and extremely effective! Your whole collection of floral paintings is amazing and this one is my favourite. You should be feeling very pleased with yourself! Well done!

I thought the first one was lovely Carole but this one is perfect! You've definitely given a touch of moonlight to the spicky leaves. Beautiful!

Carole I did not think you could better that last one. Its beatiful. In fact I will go as far as to say its out of this world. Blimey!! wonderful work

Magical! I'm sure a fairy is going to pop out. Perfectly beautiful.....Well done.

As Avril says, just magical. I think this is such a stunning painting - the painting of it, the composition, the colour palette - all just perfect. Can't praise it enough - really well done Carole.

The iridescent medium won't show up so well onscreen, so this is probably even better than it looks to us; it's a wonderful painting. Great contrast between the misty colours and the sharp detail of the sea holly.

I didn't think you could improve on perfetion.....but you have, it's beautiful Carole!!

Wonderful colours and a great painting Carole.

Thanks all very much for your reassuring comments, much appreciated.

I think this may just be my favourite in your lovely gallery Carole.

Thanks for your time to comment Paul and Kirstie.

This is so magical. Love the colours you have used. I expect to see pixies and fairies jumping in and out among the flowers.

Utterly magical and ethereal quality to this painting, wonderful work.

Ah Carole, I was just thinking I hadn't seen a painting from you for a while! I think I missed your previous version while I was away, but I do like both versions. Aesthetically gorgeous and technically excellent, as is usually the case with your paintings. Wonderful!

Thank you Sarah, Lesley and Seok, for your generous comments.

While commenting on your latest posting, I saw this and the previous one. Missed it in August, probably being on holiday. Carole, this is work of a genius! Amazing, stunning, perfect, atmospheric, I have not enough words for this. :) Mia

Thank you Mia for taking the time to comment on this old one. I really appreciate it from you.
