ANOTHER FANTASTIC PAINTING WITH SO MUCH WONDERFUL TEXTURE.
Lynnette Shelley replied

Thank you :)
Patricia Anne ...

very pretty as always :)
Rhinovangogh

I had a friend once who was stuck in a three color dimension. With encouragement the cornucopia of choramatism opened up her world. Mostly because she expanded from where she was and handled it with gusto. The colors you have here work well together and rather than being garrish as you feared it is as beautiful as stained glass. More, more! RVG
Alexandra Felgate

Gorgeous!! Am loving this series!!
Lynnette Shelley replied

Your work reminds me of another artist friend’s work…..Her name is Maia Waye…..she is not on RB, but here is a link to one of her art works in her Etsy shop. You both have that great attention to the smallest of details!

I told Maia about your work also. :) I have encouraged her to set up a RB portfolio and hope she does.

Great work, Lynette. I can see how your love for Beardsley and Celtic art influenced this. Maybe even monastic manuscripts? Thanks for the comments back there.
