    iI am so sorry, I thought it was Marians flowers…you do such a wonderful job. I looked through many of your other works..the moon is heavenly. great artist you are

  • Vanessa Barklay replied

    lol never mind, all good, we will call it Marians flower!! I do not the proper name for it. I told someone last night they had done a great painting but it was not a painting when I looked again, it was all digital!! eek lol :O)

    Wish I could claim this beauty for my own Sherri but Vanessa brought it to life and I just can’t get over these stunning hues. All my favs as this capture!!
