snow drop by jane minter

Beautifully delicate.

Carole took the words right out of my mouth, beautiful and delicate. Thank you for your kind comments on my failed snowdrop painting, I started off with "delicate" in mind and ended up with anything but LOL.

Agree with Carole and Val, this is delicate and beautiful..

Wow! It's really beautiful....... fantastic palette with wonderful effects. Very well done.

When I first saw this I imagined it to be a small painting. Infact it's a good size and must look wonderful in real life. It's extremely effective in its simplicity. Well done !

It's a lovely, lovely piece, Jane. The background is gorgeous and the flower is just stunning.

Absolutely gorgeous, agree with everyone else, delicate and beautiful. Would love to know the colours you have used in the background!

Exquisite. I tried to do a snowdrop recently and failed dismally and here are you making it look so effortless and easy. Love that background too.

Perfect choice of colour and technically highly accomplished. Lovely work.

carole val yu avril louise seok annette thea catherine thankyou all so much i appreciate each of your comments annette you asked re colours .... i used cad yellow + colbalt turq + perylene green (W&N) + cyan + brown van dkye Venezia MAIMERI

I think it is the contrast of style in the background that provides the perfect foil for the beautifully painted flower. Well done indeed!
