Wow Margaret! Love the unique composition! The colors are so rich and saturated! Stunning!

Wonderful job Denise! The flower is beautifully rendered and easy to understand! Great colors!

From the Zoom Workshop “Complex Leaves: Texture”. A GREAT workshop with really helpful demos. Thank you Pam and Sam! Highly recommend.
