Gorgeous! Dogwoods are so beautiful and you certainly did them justice here.

Beautiful. I love the way you have used the shades of grey to offset the pink.

How beautiful! I love the way the background really makes the flowers pop.

Thanks, Rosie, Ilana-Davita, and Robin. I thought I might have made it a little too dark, like a little haunted. I think partially that may be the computer emphasizing certain colors even more. The color under the bottom flower in my original downstairs isn't *that* yellow, but the computer picks up the yellow and highlights it.

Leora, your paintings are beautiful. Do you sell them somewhere?

Raizy, I'm working on the "how" I am going to sell them. I don't want to sell originals, not right now. Instead, I plan to make what's called Giclee Prints. Limited Editions that would be more affordable than the originals would be.

I also want to sell cards, probably a collection of floral cards, maybe a mix of watercolors and photos. I'm exploring printing possibilities.

Thanks for asking!

Beautiful! In NW TN where we had dogwoods, the redbud would bloom first and then the dogwoods. We are no longer in TN and I was missing our dogwoods so I searched for photos of them and the promise of Spring. I love your painting! I would be interested in a print. Please keep me posted when you get the details worked out. Thanks!
