What an interesting painting, Carole! Lovely detail in the flowers and fruits and beautiful the way you have defined some leaves and let other fade into the background. Realy striking work.

This is just gorgeous, Carole. I love all the various elements - the negative painting, the fade-outs and all that wonderful detail. What more can one say!

A really beautiful piece, Carole! Love the way you dealt with the complexity of the composition, and the gorgeous colors.

I'm bowled over, thanks for your kind comments everyone. I started this painting a while ago and lost interest, found it again the other day , added and subtracted like you do! thought it looked overworked...........so thanks again.

It is lovely Carole. I like the colours that you've used here. It's very satisfying isn't it when a re worked painting turns out so well. It doesn't look at all overworked. I'm running out of words to describe some of these paintings ! Gorgeous sums it up well !
