This is beautiful...

I love these colours. Beautiful.

Thank you so much for these lovely comments - it's always very motivating when other artists like your work. I found these colours very difficult to reproduce accurately. It's disappointing that there's a slight colour cast and so the white parts of the painting don't show up as white. I've tried photographing it again with the flash on. That does help show the white parts a bit better, but it still doesn't help with the other colours. I've had to try to adjust the saturation etc. because in the original photo and scan the pea green leaves came out a sickly, pale browny colour. It is a problem getting an accurate representation of the image - maybe somebody could do a tutorial on it?
