Painting: Mixed media abstract floral design; a dark grey flower points downward on lower right, and a second flower in oranges and yellows opens upward on upper left. Stems cross each other midframe. Background is a blend of orange, brown, blue, and cream.

Hi Ann, I am so happy you can see it now. You really seem to like it, too! 💖 I was still looking for your response of course when the Like count stopped at 2K!! It felt wonderful that so many people enjoyed it. Thanks to you and Sarah Anne Johnson as well.

By the way, to me it’s twilight 🤗

Reposting my most popular digital mixed media painting. The basic idea originated from an artwork by Sarah Anne Johnson, posted by Ann @annpersand.bsky.social. I let the description of the technique she used challenge me to seek my own.
