Quite a fancy garden. The colors are fantastic and your straw technique yields some excellent forms. I like the composition and wish you the best of luck in the contest.

This is a very pretty and feminine abstract garden. I love your color choices and the movement you created. It gives the impression of a gentle wind. Best of luck in the contest.

This is just lovely to view! I love all of the various tones in blue over this secret garden, for me, the blue represents the blue poppies and lupines in a garden, the white are the snow drop flowers that grow close to the ground, the pink are the petunias , the yellow buttercups and together this is so fresh and and wonderful to imagine being there in this secret garden on a warm day with just a very slight breeze! I love it and really love your technique in creating it too! This is a beautiful garden! Best to you in the contest!

Comment from karen zima
Wow! This is amazing. It will do well in the garden art contest. Love the colors you have chosen for this artwork. It is very spring like. The yellows and pinks go well against the varying shades of blue throughout the piece. I like how you made it look very abstract. Good luck in the contest.
