This is superb Dors, you have gotten great depth of colour especially in the background and that makes it very striking.

Gorgeous Dors! I have never considered using watercolor paper for my coloured pencil or graphite. I will have to give it a try. You do such lovely work!

I miss the Birds of Paradise from my California home. Afraid they won't grow in Tennessee. :(

These flowers are so inspirational, aren't they? You've rendered this one perfectly.

Thank you so much Deb. Yes they are Inspirational but when they are dieing off they can look very shabby.
