This is the final version of the 16" x 20" acrylic on masonite painting I started two weeks ago. Please critique or comment. Thank you.

This is really pretty. Nice colors and flower shapes. Only suggestion would be that I'd like to see at least a bit of the top cross rail of the fence so there is something to hold the pickets in place. Phyl

Jerry, Alva, Impulse and Rosanna...thank you for your comments! It is good to finally finish this one.

Zotma....you guys were having a heat wave while I was visiting. *SMILE* I was able to do a few watercolors while there. I mostly visited the galleries though. A very humbling experience.

Thank you Phyllis...you are right...I do need a top rail showing somewhere. *SMILE*

Fagan!
This is one of my favourites of your paintings. I really like the colours you have used, the lights and darks of the flowers and the fence.
