This is absolutely gorgeous! I love the sweeping strokes you used for the leaves of the plants and the wispy white. I love the curvature of the stems of the plants and the little purple flowers are so cute. Excellently done!

Hi Lise, I think your carnations re beautiful. They are delicate with lovely ruffles. What's even more magical to me is that your carnations look like they're growing under water. I know that's not what you intended but I love the look! The white specks look like tiny bubbles, Very cool and so deserving of six stars! :o) Helvi

This is truly beautiful! I love the airy nature of the piece; like the blooms and stems could gently sway with a breeze in any second. The rendering is very well done with an appealing color palette. I have seen posts with frames, but usually best to post without. A great entry for the contest. Best of luck.

Hi Lise, this is fabulous ! I absolutely love it! The carnations are so well shown here and I love the pale purple almost lilac color. It's impressive to study the stems and leaves and I love the way you have arranged the carnations . The background is perfectly chosen and applied , I think that silvery Grey gives this a dreamy look as if this is in a field with bits of sunlight peeking through a grey sky.
This is a wonderful entry for this contest! Very best wishes to you! This was truly a pleasure to view!

Very nice work Lise :)
I really like your color choices here, the background textures and the bits of grey you added. I bet it looks superb within the grey framing you chose.
Lovely piece ;)

Classic combination of grey and violet, with the addition of a leaf green. Always works. I used to enjoy that song, 'a white fur coat and a pink carnation' when I was young. I used to actually see it in my mind's eye.

I don't know if you can post with frames either, but either way these carnations are beautiful done! Carnations have always been my favorite flowers. (Cheap Dattalent. You have shown great definition without going overboard. I absolutely love the slimline simplicity and softness. Definitely shows a lot of tallent. Kudos to you my friend!

Beautiful presentation with such soft and special flowers - the piece of art is well created with a very harmonious first impression - great detail work in every section - perfect contrast and light application - your color choice and application is perfect and special - an unusual presentation with a nice initial impact, well presented, great job
