Please tell me that you lifted out the spiky leaves, though...or did you actually paint those shapes negatively?

This gives a very 3D look and definitely brings the front warm flowers forward.<br />Great job!<br />Thank you,<br />Irinairinasztukowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00691108715286121956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477523791028247348.post-72808932925952277962011-01-29T19:11:34.599-05:002011-01-29T19:11:34.599-05:00Beautiful colors - soft oranges and rich greens!
