The only thing I would suggest for next time perhaps is a little more texture depicted in the centres. You managed this quite well with your paints, but perhaps some pencil or pen used in the centres would add to the richness of your sunflower centres. Thanks for the smile Lin. Love your work. :o)Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926802955649303556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19077822.post-1135890850185313682005-12-29T16:14:00.000-05:002005-12-29T16:14:00.000-05:00Hi Lin; I love your sunflowers!

We were there for a few days last summmer and there are beautiful sunflowers (and lemons the size of grapefruits!) everywhere.<BR/> Thanks for reminding me of those days in the sun!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
