This is georgeous - I particularly like the folds and frills in the petals. Like Val it is also one of my favourite flowers.

I love them both, Carole. But i prefer this one because of the stronger colours. Anyway: great works!

Re post of Brusho, added collage to break up the big blob of dark leaf as Mr Inkson pointed out :)

It's been said a few times lately, lack of inspiration! I love doing small pieces which I can use later in a hopeful painting. I used inks watercolour, clingfilm, granulation fluid. Could be an interesting background.
