This landscape took a while -- as I tried several times to simplify the flowers, hedges, and shrubs.
I have to say it looks so much better and brighter in person ...
I used ink to help define the statue and lost her at first to too much shading. I reclaimed the white in the statue with a bit of Indian ink.
Back to work today -- Today is also the reception for the artists displaying their work at the Community College System office ...! My first participation in such an event!

Well the time it took was worth it Lin. It's just gorgeous; so many fine details and the statue came out very well. It's a nice detail against the softer flowers and shrubs. Have fun with the art show. I know you will receive lots of great comments!

I like the way you used the ink to help the statue stand out. Nice job on the flowers and bushes too. Enjoy the art show! It is a lot of fun to have your art displayed.
