Hi Cathie, I like seeing you playing with composition! The power of three is working here. And I like the linear quality of the stems contrasting the solidness of the flower. I think the two buds could be less parallel and less the same size. I’d have placed the right one slightly lower. Also it would be nice if one of them were more open. The drawing itself has some lovely elements. I particularly like the buds. I think the large flower could use a touch more dark. Especially in the little triangle areas showing the inside where the petals meet. I’d also like to see more definition of what is happening with the stamen/pistil area. Perhaps some darks on their shadow side.
