This is a really beautiful piece Shevaun, I do admire you for tackling those yellows. That mix that Sigrid mentioned sure looks good! Wish I paid as much attention to all the pigments as you do. Anyway - lovely piece. I love the flow of the raceme too.Inky Leaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00790360372622501431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7603463878349085244.post-70132148590607045332015-05-12T07:45:22.400+01:002015-05-12T07:45:22.400+01:00I think "Next year" must be a phrase we ...I think "Next year" must be a phrase we use too often!
