Comments

I knew immediately this was yours Satu, I love the colours and the way they 'explode' out of the vase. It's perfect as it is.

I really lke this. I guess if you wanted to add a bit of orange as a contrast you could, but I love it as it is.

These colours work beautifully; as well as flowers I see butterflies. Exuberance personified.

Lovely colours in this still life Satu and thanks so much for your recent comment on my watercolour puppy, delighted you like him so much, and that you like mu new posting today of the watercolour dog, it felt a little out of my comfort zone in have to admit but I did really enjoy doing that one, I do so many pastels portraits these days it is good to make sure that I can still do them in watercolours, thanks again xx

Thank you all Hazel, Karyl, Gudrun, Seok, Ros, Debs and Fiona for your lovely comments! Very much appreciated! Hazel, there is some orange in the centre of the flowers but it doesn't show very well in the photo.

I think you should make loads more mistakes if it ends up producing work like this!! Wonderful vibrancy, superb colours and just a delicious painting.

I agree with all the previous comments, a vibrant exciting painting Satu.

I was going to do a still live with apples, a pear and flowers using only three colours and white. All started very well until I realised that the fruit were much too low on the canvas and it was quite too late to reposition them. So I covered them with blue and made the flowers hang down a bit lower. Should I use more colours, what do you think?
