I would think about a few blades of grass or some little flowers of veggies at the base just so it looks like it has been there awhile.<br />You have alot of green on the outside and maybe a little green at the base might be good but I think you nailed it. It is wonderful and looks just like you and Kermit. I had to laugh that you are nervous with folk art and I am nervous with realism. :0) I think you are good at both!Mary Lou Weidmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13439018136590025287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7419947969361612077.post-32564338722604362632010-03-27T11:11:39.678-04:002010-03-27T11:11:39.678-04:00I agree with the others, the one with the flowers ...I agree with the others, the one with the flowers down the sides looks best.

The only thing that might improve it would be to alter the sizing of and the spacing between the flowers - and perhaps having a flower at the bottom of one side of the arch. Oh, maybe I'd not use so much red in the flowers but use the blues from the border instead to tie the central images with the border.<br /><br />#2 is good, but the flowers on top tend to obscure the "fifty" written above. <br /><br />Just remember that YOU are the only one who will know what to do with your piece. You'll find your way. Trust yourself and you'll find the perfect solution!Pat Dolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11724006295082940515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7419947969361612077.post-41716592753755659142010-03-26T22:23:53.513-04:002010-03-26T22:23:53.513-04:00Marilyn, my eyes went directly to the lower one wi...Marilyn, my eyes went directly to the lower one with the flowers down each side - I agree with the other three commentees - and congratulations and best wishes for many more. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7419947969361612077.post-58698907529960477082010-03-26T22:20:57.225-04:002010-03-26T22:20:57.225-04:00I agree, the botton one is my favorite, I like the...I agree, the botton one is my favorite, I like the movement and flow of the elements.
