This was too hard for me as I really can't get the hang of leaves. I was working on my May calendar page too and thankfully I am far happier with that.

Leaves can be difficult, and she had a nice approach with her brush strokes to form them. It's nice to see how many of these artists create. The challenges can be a learning experience for us. You did a wonderful painting of very realistic leaves. The entire painting is lovely. Thanks for adding it to the gallery.

I think this is great, Janine, and the leaves look wonderful. The shine on your cherries is super and the blooms are very pretty. LOVE your calendar, too. You make me want to make calendar paintings.

Beautiful watercoloring, Janine. Your cherries are fantastic and you did a wonderful job with the flowers and leaves. You really captured what the leaves really look like....not always easy to do.

Ooh I like that you got all those angles of the blooms. (you know instead of everything facing forward like someone pointed a selfie stick at them haha) this is so pretty, I love the shadows you gave the blooms and the Drape it all has too
