But remember, art is not always exact, what is good for me, is not good for you. I had a look at your art and I like your style. Blessings Susan

A few highlighted strands should do the trick and seeing as the title is ‘The Pearl Necklace’, maybe whiten up those pearls a notch to make them stand out more. Other than that, I love the perspective you’re using – really makes it interesting to view. Rgds, Evie :)
