1. Your color washes are beautiful.

I’m not sure what I’m seeing, though it doesn’t make any difference because your execution is very pleasing. The impression is dewy, like water droplets on a plant surface.

I think it could be a clover or a water Lilly pad. My first impression was a clover but the blue background made me think of still water like in a pond. But as a viewer it’s kind of fun to see more than one thing in a painting. It makes you look at all the other elements and appreciate them separately.

I really like the way you are mixing various colors in the washes. I can make each color out but then it becomes a blended color which then gives way to another color. It reminds me of a shady spot on a brilliant sunny day where the light is diffused so you don’t see where the light source is coming from.
