Beautiful work! Your thoughtful choice to put those darker oranges over the green background really helps pump up the volume here. Your details are lovely - it's just a gorgeous piece.

I think I have had my fill of bright colours for a while! Back to greys and blacks for me.

You may not particularly enjoy the use of bright colors, but you certainly know how to use them. Wonderful.

Terri, I appreciate your kind words. Yes, the use of colours that are almost diagonally opposite on the colour wheel was a conscious choice for the reason you mention.

Breathtaking and beautiful. I love the vivid oranges and yellows against the green background. Wonderful shading and texture on the petals of the flower.

Beautiful painting. I love the "glow" of the flower - it really gives it life
