This is so fascinating. It looks touchable . Love the transition from green-blue-violet and the white lace overlay is tres cool.
Will admit I would like to see a couple of wisps of lace trail down just a bit further to entice my eye down the canvas. Other than that…….what can one say? Superb:clap:

Coolio – the close up shot makes looks like the plaster is between plates of colour, whereas I suspect it is atop. Interesting illusion. Well done as usual sir!

I love the subtĺe colours of the background and the contrast in texture is lovely, well done!
