I love it. I really like the way you handled the oopsie yellow in the sky. If it were me, I'd probably ruin the whole painting trying to get rid of them. I sure have lots to learn, and watching you teaches me new things every time. Thanks so much!

Beautiful, Karen! Love the atmospheric look, earthy tones and textures! The yellow blobs could be sunflowers! How about putting dark centers on them?

Hi Karen, I’ve joined your patron but don’t know how to access it. When I try to do it it wants me to pay again. Help!
