Everything about this is so Elegant, right down to your watermark! Your work I find represents so much of who you are. You are such a lady filled with wisdom and artistic wonder.
Your feminity shines through in the way you use layer after layer. I love the background of soft flower like petals and the soft purple and lilac colors.
Your photo is sharp and the dreamy, creamy background is what makes this oh so loverly.
Well done Cara Mia!
Bravo :)

What a smart idea. It seems as if you have flowers from at least two of your lilac trees combined into one. The merge is beautifully done. With the background resembling silk or organza, it lucks like a centerpiece. It would be an outstanding greeting card.
I have never seen lilac trees, probably they are usually cut down to a bush.

I think the purple /white silk like back ground compliments your lilacs very well. nice sharp focus on the flowers. I like the way you have arranged the lilacs with just a few green leaves. Very nice light and colours. I can imagine this being used as a pattern on a quilt cover or something similar. Very nice piece of mixed media. Well Done.

Isn't it like nature to move us along from bloom cycle to the next, from one season to the next, mourning the loss of evanescent youth, preparing us for change, evolution, and maturation?
Your composition is lovely, sentimental, and evocative. Perhaps the lavender is the key to serenity over change.

Very elegantly done. I really like the background and how well its colors an folds are in harmony with the lilac spray. Colors are excellent and true to life and makes me almost smell them. Brings back great memories of my Aunt's huge tree beside her porch. A wonderful gift.

Excellent job Annie. The bunches of Lilacs are well placed and they sort of fade away toward the right. Nice background with well matched colors. Thanks for sharing.

The artist presentation on this piece of work, are very creative in how the colors streak out from the flowers to the outside framing. The green leaves add to the elegance of the overall framing.

Thanks for sharing it for review.

Annie this is fabulous! This technique really is beyond beautiful. The shades of lavender are so attractive and the entire frame is spectacular. This would make an incredible piece of a wedding announcement or invitation. Breathtaking.

Very effective and attractive background in mauve colour.Well laid out lilac flowers in conical shape is attractive.The green leaves are placed well.The white coloured flowers appear very bright due to the effect of the light falling on it.
