I like this abstract version of the flower very much. The sunny yellow is emotionally uplifting. The whites and blacks emphasize the shades of yellow beautifully. The artwork is excellently balanced. The tight, square framing is perfect.

I've never really understood abstract artwork until I've seen this. This is very satisfying to look at. I guess you could call it Picturesque! :)

This is a creative style of painting. It looks spontaneous and has a movement. I like its semi-abstract quality and the gentle use of colours. Good luck!

That magic straw creates wonderful abstract flowers.
I like the sunny yellow and the touch of brown in the center.
Great textures and amazing petal formation on this sunflower.
Well done ;)

This is very pretty! I really like the color combinations. The shape is very flower like and the accents in the center look so good and give it a more realistic appearance.

Beautifully created impressionistic image of a sunflower. You have totally controlled the technique you used to make this lovely piece. Nice flow and mix if the colors. Great shadows and textures. Just enough details to make the story work. Very well done. Thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest.
