I also think that toning down the white lines a little bit would make the other colors pop even more. I love the bright colors in this piece!Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00220665809987670918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040841898097981185.post-28304083099750601382011-02-27T08:01:13.799-07:002011-02-27T08:01:13.799-07:00Cynthia, you always keep experimenting until you w...Cynthia, you always keep experimenting until you work out the little things that bother you!

Not sure about the flowers, tho... might detract from the overall composition, but what the heck... you could audition to see!
