Thank you CaliAnn. You are a good artist and I am sure you can put your mark on flowers. A word to the wise: never ever compare because you are you and you can't be anyone else: nor would you want to be. Lose yourself in your painting and if not today, another day, you will find yourself trying to express yourself and you will.You've ruined my attempts at painting flowers - every time I try, I end up tossing it out, because I think of your gorgeous flower paintings and compare to yours
