First of all, Phyllis McDonough, "Pasture" - Watercolor, 11" x 15", on our
home page for critique...
    I love that painting, Phyllis!!  You have achieved a great composition,
good color scheme,
and I like that you wanted to emphasis calligraphic strokes.  Personally I
try not to have them,
don't think mine look great, but yours is lovely and well done!
Congratulations on that painting!

Now to the May Gallery...
1.  "Ode au Printemps"
15"x11"
transparent watercolour on Arches 140 lb rough paper
Flowers in bloom during Springtime are visual poetry. Lorraine P. Dietrich

They sure are!  Outstanding painting, Lorraine, I like the way the
subject(s) touch the edges
of the painting.  My favorite part, and it seems like it's the focal point
to me, is that
yellow narcissus.  Thanks for posting this!

2.  "Columbines"
30"x22"
Arches 300 lb

I saw these beautiful flowers blooming in my garden, so I had to take a
photo of them. Some inevitable changes, of course. With the generous
matting, it is a rather large piece.

Doris, I have some wild ones in my garden.  The first time I saw those
beautiful leaves, I thought, what is that?
Eventually it bloomed and I learned it was wild columbine, this same variety
that you are showing us.  
This is an exceptional rendition of that flower, I congratulate you on this!

I have already commented on the first two.  This is fun!
Good idea to think of us doing this, Raymond.
