Hi Sarah thanks for your very generous comment on my tulips. Please do not say that yours is staid! you have used beautiful colour the leaves are great. I like the composition The satin ribbon is realistic with the shiny bits. I like the background too. Best wishes Carole.

Hello Carole, I am so glad you liked it...I nearly didn't finish it, left it in a portfolio for nearly a year. I wasn't going to post it here but I saw yours and thought 'ah well, it's only different!!' Sarah

I agree with Carole this is a lovely work. The use of that neutral grey as a background really makes the colours of the tulips glow on the page. I think you have handled the ribbon so well and the shadows etc which could have distracted but dont. great

I have to agree with all the above, Those touches of shadow the ribbon and vase. Smashing.

Hello angela angela, I am pleased you picked up on the background colour.....spent a long time deciding on that. The ribbon was easier than the tulips! Sarah

Thanks for commenting Jeannette, my favourite part is the vase and the central tulip ...the ribbon, too fancy for my taste. Sarah
