Once again, I love the patterns you are able to introduce in your artwork. The use of ink and watercolor is such an interesting combination. I love the way the colors are vivid and defined--I think it is the pen that has allowed many of the details to shine through. This reminds me of a mosaic; it's so intricate and bright.

The red of the flower immediately grabs my eye and then I'm taken on a roller coaster ride through the pattern. I feel as if I'm able to view this entire thing without getting too distracted and overwhelmed despite the intricacy of the pattern.

I know some people have suggested a stronger use of black ink at the poppy but I feel as though I want more distinction at the base where the leaves are. But that's just me. Honestly, I don't think it should be messed with; it's already brilliant! Great work.

Ah, the vivid inspiration & wonder found in nature never ceases . . I feel so pale beside its reality, yet am pushed to become even brighter and more wild in the intertwining of patterns. Soon as I see another one o these poppies in bloom, will return to this image to touch it up with your helpful suggestion in mind.

Thanks again for the kind words!

Why thank you!

That's awesome. Concept and structure are wonderful.

I think it would be balanced nicely with just a *touch* more of the strong black outline present at the poppy head / top patterns being worked into the base.
