I love the light and dark contrast, also the foxgloves are beautifully painted.

This is really great. I wish I could achieve something like this in an hour.

Another lovely piece, Carole - I love the dramatic portrayal of the flower against the dark background. It works beautifully.

Foxglove in gouache, not tried gouache for ages so different from pure watercolour. I find it hard to mix colours. Did this in hour.
