Thank you Chris, I really appreciate the support.
I had to laugh about your comment of looking over my shoulder. I have friends that paint with me and none of them give the critique I am asking for, they are all too kind.
I have decided to change the shape of the foreground roses so that they are not uniform. I may fade the background roses into the distance but I like the way they break up the space. I will post again with the finished piece.
Thank you for encourging me to submit to a competiton also. I have been rather intimidated by all the beautiful work I see here and have not felt like I should submit anything I have done. You've made my day just by suggesting it.
Best regards,
Dianne
