First of all, Phyllis McDonough, "Pasture" - Watercolor, 11" x 15", on
our home page for critique...<br>
I love that painting, Phyllis!! You have achieved a great
composition, good color scheme,<br>
and I like that you wanted to emphasis calligraphic strokes.
Personally I try not to have them,<br>
don't think mine look great, but yours is lovely and well done!
Congratulations on that painting!<br>
<br>
Now to the May Gallery...<br>
<b>1. "Ode au Printemps"</b><br>
<em>15"x11"<br>
transparent watercolour on Arches 140 lb rough paper<br>
</em>Flowers in bloom during Springtime are visual poetry. Lorraine P.
Dietrich<br>
<br>
They sure are! Outstanding painting, Lorraine, I like the way the
subject(s) touch the edges<br>
of the painting. My favorite part, and it seems like it's the focal
point to me, is that<br>
yellow narcissus. Thanks for posting this!<br>
<br>
<b>2. "Columbines"</b><br>
<em>30"x22"<br>
Arches 300 lb</em><br>
<p>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. </p>

Doris, I have some wild ones in my garden. The first time I saw those
beautiful leaves, I thought, what is that?<br>
Eventually it bloomed and I learned it was wild columbine, this same
variety that you are showing us. <br>
This is an exceptional rendition of that flower, I congratulate you on
this!<br>
<br>
I have already commented on the first two. This is fun!<br>
Good idea to think of us doing this, Raymond.<br>
