Lovely daisies Glennis, super details

Really nice painting. Great detail and I think it needed a background with them being so pale.

Needed a background to bring out the delicacy of the flowers. Lovely

Lovely colours in the "white" flowers Glennis, well observed.

I absolutely love this painting. I have had te chance to look through your gallery this afternoon too and I have to say what beautiful paintings you have done. Look forward to seeing more.

Really dramatic Glennis - lovely !

I think this is the best of your flower paintings. It's so 3 dimensional I could reach out and pick one. I hate doing backgrounds. This is lovely. Can you remember what colours you used to get that lovely soft turquoisy grey?

Thank you for your comments much appreciated. Diana, I used transparent turquoise Daler Rowney and just mixed with aliz crimson and some orange. To be honest it was just on the white plate and dipped into what colour I thought would produce a soft grey. The main colour was the transparent turquoise and the rest 'trial and error', glad you liked it, backgrounds are a nightmare for me, I never get the colours strong enough in the first wash. Practice might make perfect one day!

This one and your latest 'primrose' one are excellent!

Wow beautiful, they look so real

Thank you Louise and Jean for your comments
