Absolutely beautiful! I love the combination of colors and those lanterns are lovely. My mother grows them in her garden and always snips me a few for my autumn arrangements.
Thanks for sharing, really love your work.

Ha! I have been trying to figure out what these orangey plants are called. We have them all over our garden.
Yet another beautiful bird piece. Well done.

I love Physalis and I wish I had them on my balcony... so seeing their intricate beauty in your painting just makes me dream of their sweet taste. Yummy.

Lovely painting! Japanese lanterns always remind me of a special street corner I used to sit on as a little girl, under a bunch of orange lanterns spilling out over the fence, as I spied on the teenagers and dreamed of being big. Good memories. Thank you.
