Congratulations on your win Linda! Well deserved. I love the delicate colours you used in this lovely watercolour painting of the Peonies. I like how you presented this with the soft blue background. Very nice detail in the petals and leaves. Lovely composition. Suzanne

Oh wow this is a wonderful painting! Everything has been done so very well and the color choice is really great. The way that you have rendered the background is pretty awesome and adds so much interest to the piece. The details and use of light are great! Really job well done on this painting.

I like the delicate look of the Peonies, the soft colors and the shades of blue.
Blue is my favorite color as I find it to be calming.
Fab details on the flowers with a look of lovely highlights.
Very nice work ;)

The white flowers look intriguing on the blue shaded background. The blue outlines emphasize the blossoms and buds excellently. The brush strokes are clean and skilfully done. The flowers are well placed into the frame. The diagonal view is pleasant. The composition is balanced.

I think you are really good with your shading which creates nice detail and depth to your paintings. Your flowers have nice dimension and your color blending in the leaves is very attractive. Very nice background too!
