    Hi Dee,
    I am excited to see so much hard work here. You are doing a great job. I want to make some general comments that relate to all of your work:
    1. I like your vibrant clean edges and saturated color
    2. However I think you are ready to work on your contours of your forms and make them less stylized and more irregular as nature does if you study leave and flower petal edges.
    3. On this radish in the future consider the shape made from the root and perhaps make these kinds of gestures less abrupt and angular. Also on leaves highlights are not usually a bright circular pinpoint. I would study highlights on leaves to see what I mean. All in all though great job. One more thing on your calligraphy. I really like your own handwriting the most and perhaps you could not always trace the script handwriting, but look at it and draw it freehand. It would be interesting to see what that looks like!
