You might add darks. I see only light and medium tones.

Very nice loose flowers. Agree that some darks and contrast would help,

Nice loose technique and lovely colours - agree it could use a few darks.

Very pretty pastel colors.. so don't go too dark with the darks if you add them.

Hi Jayne,

I like the diagonal look and colours of your flowers. Love floral paintings. I think you've been given good advice, can't think of any other improvements. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Jan

Hi Jayne- Very pretty start- perhaps darken some of the foliage to push it back a bit...
