    This painting started out as a freehand selection of an Art Nouveau Statue and placed onto some magnolias (Yes, yet more magnolias!)

    I have then painted this with the impressionist brush.

    A lovely combination of images, Dianne. You did an excellent job on that selection, which is not always easy. Really beautiful, graceful and feminine.

    I like this one, it has a wow factor. The composition, colours, and chosen technique gel well.

    Hi Dianne,This would make a terrific poster,I especially like how you have brought the statue out in front.I can,t getthe impressionist brush to paint out like this,all Iseem to get are short strokes which appear to have a mind of their own when it comes to positioning.I,m back to using a mouse so I am guessing thats what is making it more difficult.Regards Wardy

    Dianne, this is an unexpected combination of background and foreground which makes it stand out.  Nice!
