It looks beautiful to me Val the flowers are delightful

I'm not sure I agree with you Val! The flowers are exquisitely crisp. I also lithe colours.

Wow, I think you need to borrow my specs this is awesome

Gorgeous Val, glass beads a unique touch and the flowers are beautiful.

lovely work again Val great combination of media David Harrison

Love this Val, the colours are beautiful and the glass beads add a really interesting texture to it.

Val, I don't see any failure.....the flowers show up beautifully against the bead textures, as well a the harmony of colours.

No comments needed, just thought I'd post it.

About the Artist
Val Kenyon

I am a self taught artist or, as I like to say, I'm "unrestricted by formal teaching" which probably explains my mish mash of styles. I paint in most media, watercolour, gouache, oil, coloured pencil and my favourite, soft pastels. I'm inspired by the Scottish landscape, nature and animals and…
