chrysanthamums

You succeeded in keeping ths loose. A very nice piece :)

I agree, I like the composiiton, lovely work

Good colours and composition Mike. My dad used to grow chrysants and we had numerous blooms of one very similar to this called "Red Flare" - very hardy, long lasting.

Love the oriental feel.

Thank you all for your great comments, I will definitely try again using a knife with the loose style
