These are beautiful Carole, and true to life - De Cean mixed I think! I have grown these since I was a boy.

Beautiful, Carole...Love your colours plus the masterly mixing of the green for the stems in particular, it is an unique one in the anemone, isn't it. with that ever so subtle hint of warmth.

You're in a rich vein of form Carole! Yet another super painting

Anemones are such a joy to paint in watercolour, aren't they, its almost as if the manufacturers based their shade cards on these flowers. However, its not easy to catch the idiosyncratic way the stems bend and curl, and I find it even more difficult to create an attractive composition with them, they are so unruly. Full marks here Carole, its a real jewel.

Thank you Russell and Sharon for taking the time to leave kind words, they mean a lot and keep me going!
