Beautiful colours, and I like the style.

It’s a super striking painting Nancy. I see what you mean about the whites and left side but I’m no watercolourist so wouldn’t presume to offer advice! Unless a light wash to soften?

Thank you Dylan and Tessa. It is a new style for me with this one. I think I want to soften the whites, thanks for confirming Tessa; when I figure it out I will change that side a bit. (This is going into a "bird" themed show next week.)

Gorgeous work Nancy! I love the balance of soft and hard edges, and the exuberant colours.
