Join the club, Lilias, greens are my absolute nightmare. I don't actually like the colour so when it comes to painting it - ugh!! However, having said that, your greens here are soft and very harmonious with nice touches of darker green for emphasis - so I think you have conquered your bete noire! Lovely flowers as well and I do like the white trellis that they are threading themselves through. Really lovely painting.

I agree with Thea it is a lovely painting and the greens look fine to me.I hope you won't have to worry about greens again.

Just beautiful :)

I think the greens are just fine. I find them difficult too but you've done well here. If I may just suggest one thing- all your darkest shadows between the leaves appear to be above the right hand diagonal; maybe add a few on the left to balance them a little? I love the arrangement with the trellis.
