@chrisaakins I like the color play. The bright green with the red contrast definitely leads my eye to the dragon-fly. The rustic colors below are beautiful and varied. Thanks for posting.

@josegalue25 beautiful oriental style. The use of color leads the eye in a triangle. First the dragonfly, then the fish, then the berries and back to the dragonfly. Blues and grays set them off nicely.

@Mary-Toth - what a gorgeous image! I love the character clinging onto the net, but also your colour choices and detailed finish produced with these traditional mediums is so impressive. Itβs polished, skilful and beautiful. Love it!

@Chip-Valecek wouldn't it be better to have one extra pinned dedicated wip thread where everyone can post their stuff and ask for it instead of everyone creating his own thread?
