I love the barn painting. As for the flowers, your work is so very good that you have created a very high standard for yourself I think that while the painting is still very nice to look at I can understand you not being absolutely pleased with it. It does work for me though.<BR/>I have not been too keen on flower subjects either and usually do not photograph them much, but I think that I would enjoy most anything that came off your brush . . .ghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07964296075867476410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-233422922314929310.post-22512297343292743852009-04-04T11:19:00.000-05:002009-04-04T11:19:00.000-05:00You are welcome Jill...I like to see what other ar...You are welcome Jill...I like to see what other artists are up to!!
