Love the blending of colors and the portrayal of the leaves, which is very hard to do.

Beautiful, Anne. Clean and bright, great job!

Wow! This is so well drawn and painted. But, I feel the leaves are too dominant in this painting. Perhaps, you could have discarded the large leaf. TThe sunflower is so beautifully done, and yet it is the large leaf that draws my eye.

I see what Balaji means. If the larger leaf were smaller, it would be less of a focal point.

Thanks Balaji and Joy. That's a good observation. Originally, I had the leaves much lighter but it made everything light and medium values without any darks. I decided to go darks with the leaves but I can see that they are stealing the show!
