Very beautiful and whimsical piece! It looks like you're mastering your new medium very well! Love the detail of the poppy pods,flowers, and the contrasting colors you've used in this composition. Wishing you the best in the contest!

It seems ok that the darker color washes out a bit. Sometimes, just starting with a strong design is half the battle. The subtle brush strokes make the piece pop enough to make it work.

Very pretty, lovely subjects chosen, good composition and nice delicate colour palette used. You are doing a grand job with the medium, it's not the easiest of mediums to master but so much fun!

The pink and red shades that you create are wonderful. The details of the vains in the flower is very realistic. I really like it thank you.

Very pretty arrangement of these flowers. The opened one grabs your attention and then your eyes move to the closed lighter color flower. They are framed by three little blue ones. Nice colors and textures throughout.
