gorgeous layers of texture and lovely blues.
Susan Duffey
Thanks Marion.Its based on my new garden.
Pat Yager
I like this one so much, Susan! Perhaps because blue or periwinkle blue are my favorite colors, as you might guess, I strive for blue ones in my garden, too. I enjoy so much the delicate strokes with which you’ve achieved the different petal shapes, and the depth you given them with the darks in just the right places. It is so nicely done! – Pat
Susan Duffey replied
Thankyou, gardenerpat, for your appreciation. I think I’ve bought a range of nearly all the blue flowering plants I can find – Canterbury Bells are my favourites!!
