But I am here now, and very pleased to get to see this. My heart says this is one gorgeous canvas, and I prefer it in the horizontal, landscape orientation. Here's what I love about this: your background as an abstract garden is lovely. In fact, I'm so very impressed by this, and fun to learn how you used that one color to get so many shades. I'm sold on the tinting base now! I also love the extremely realistic looking lily, but the more I squint my eyes and really look at this, I think there seems to be so much contrast between the abstract and realistic that I can see why you might be scratching your head over it. That being an honest evaluation, I can also say I adore ALL of your work--you have a certain style that is unmistakable, and that is the sign of a fabulous artist, in my humble opinion!

Regardless, I always laugh because inevitably, my paintings I like the least are often the most-beloved by others. Thank goodness we're not all alike, right?!

So I'm on your side Joi. I liked the flower better when it was just a rough sketch. You've added to many refined details to be abstract. In my opinion. Love love the background. Magenta and white tinting, huh?! Cool. Keeping it as is, I vote for vertical. Can you blur it up a bit? :) Just asking....

Your lily drawing is superb and the 'texture' you created in the pink looks amazing. I like the portrait view best and personally, I think you are a wonderful artist!

It's very beautiful, I love that rich pink,the unusual texture, the way the flower seems to be blowing in the wind, just gorgeously yummy and so up my street, so to speak lol! Keep on experimenting huni as it's working. Also, to me, the mucky bottles mean you are using them and you are just doing what you should, as an artist because you are one fab artist Karen xxKaren Petitt https://www.blogger.com/profile/12744994134996508387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485691074598233902.post-81352861057455512022016-08-31T05:15:55.435-05:002016-08-31T05:15:55.435-05:00Wow Joi, just as gorgeous as always!

Love the pink background with the subtle bouquet behind your focal flower and I adore that you paint on the sides as well, really creates a great flow to your piece!

Naturally, I adore this. I like the simplicity of the design with the depth from the pinks. And I Like it Portrait. And it's a shame you don't like it so much, but it's pretty 'CAS' so I get that!!!! Still like it;)!!!Lizzy Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15635794099699316625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485691074598233902.post-85668936244675089482016-08-30T23:45:42.447-05:002016-08-30T23:45:42.447-05:00Like you Joi I am amazed when I get great reviews ...Like you Joi I am amazed when I get great reviews of a piece of my art that just doesn't quite cut it for me but then I have to remember that everyone else is seeing it with fresh eyes and of course beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Your bright pink lily painting sure is a beauty to me. I love how you bring your flowers to life and the design is best in the portrait position for me too.
