But why do you make your name part of the stem? I find it distracting (and maybe a little cheesy?). Or is this picture made as a kind of commercial art, like for a greeting card? I think that would be a shame because this is a beautiful little gem of a painting.
I hope I'm not hurting your feelings--I don't often comment on posters' art, but this one really caught my eye.

Picasso never explained and many might have needed some.

Keep up the good work.

I have an artist friend who send me a birthday card which was a painting of a birthday cake with my name on it! It's framed and hangs proudly in the hall.

First time I ever did a bee. I was pretty happy with it as I didn’t even sketch it on first.

Progress!

I had a double mastectomy over 25 years ago and still going strong. I will bookmark this to view when I need a lift - thank you!

Glad to hear your a survivor! I try to support anyone going through illness. Sometimes it’s nice to know someone is thinking of you.
I painted a beautiful breast cancer awareness ribbon…for my daughters friend.
Stay well!

I’d be planning its matting and framing so that I could hang it in my great room. Nicely done!
