This is a combination of fluorescent and metallic gel pens (all Sargent). I like this a lot. I don't know whether I should risk ruining it by filling in the grass. Thoughts?  (That was a lot of tiny pebbles!)

Wow!  That is really beautiful. I love the colors. Especially like the contrasting greens in the bush by the well and the violet-blue bell shaped blooms near it. All the colors really pop...great choices!  All those little pebbles in a variety of colors must have taken awhile. I can't make up my mind as to whether filling in the grass would be better or not. Really like it the way it is.

Hmm. Thank you for your positive comments!  It looks like it needs grass, but I don't know where I would end the grass even. Oh, boy. Colouring is hard!

I've noticed in some pictures I've colored that the artist left out lines so it's hard to know what color should go in certain areas.  I've put lines in myself!  Coloring can be a challenge for sure.

This looks great! All the vibrant colors pop and give life to the drawing. 

Great color choices, i'm interested on those sargent pens would see about ordering them! :my_biggrin:

This is gorgeous :)    I love how you did the gravel/pebbles.   I'm not sure it needs filled in, but the thing that draws my eye is the white space around the flowers at the bottom/in the pebble area.   I'm not sure I'd use green there, though.   maybe a brownish/ground color?

Yes, those areas are definitely a problem. I think I will try a ground colour like you suggest, @Curious because, I agree, green will not look good there.

Here's the updated picture. I filled in around the pebbles and tried to do a suggestion of grass :my_dodgy:.  Under close scrutiny, it's a bit messy, but, overall, I think it looks much better. Thanks for your help!  On to the next one....

oh that change really improves it, IMO.   Those white spaces around the flowers were very distracting, IMO.  Now it looks great!

      They got together because she basically slid into his DM's via mutual friends on IG. Started talking in April and I guess officially met in person in June.

      They also "answer" a question about what they do for work. Carver appears to flip vehicles & his parents have given him money to invest. Hailey had nothing to say for herself about current or past work--not even Plexus or another MLM. Although I guess she has helped out on the family "plantation" although she has shown little or no evidence of that.

      Hailey also says, while extolling the virtues of young marriage, that no one goes into marriage "completely ready" or "financially stable." Newflash Hailey--some of us were financially stable on our wedding day.

      Carver verified they got together in June. So these two haven't even been in a relationship for a full year but it's so awesome.

      Sure, Jan. K.Screenshot_20240528_113007_Instagram.thumb.jpg.afc081e0bfb9bde3e481c9ce8e2a32b7.jpg

      I genuinely have no suggestions besides Amazon. Hopefully she stays at size 10. Because size 11 is significantly harder to find than size 10. My feet grew after having kids. So I went from a 10 or 10.5 to 11. And it sucks. But since I have plantar fasciitis, I mostly wear tennis shoes. And I can easily find men’s tennis shoes big enough for my feet. 

      Amazon does seem to be the one place we can find.  Our walmart clearances out all their winter size 10 so she was fine for winter with a wide variety of boots.  They didn’t stock summer size 10.  I’m guessing her feet will continue growing for a bit based on my other kids, but still hoping they stay at 10.
