Now I feel that I did not miss too much%)) A small compliment from me - I am not good in painting as you are but sometimes combine pieces in something new%)) Hope you will enjoy it and happy anniversary to you!

Thank you for this lovely gift! I'm glad my work makes you happy!

It is%) and not only happy but inspire me to create something myself%)) I just love this kind ot co-creation%) Thank you once more for being inspiration!

Are the hydrangeas your favorite? Your paintings are so impressive and expressive that you highlight the beauty of flowers on paper. I would like to know why you like flowers so much, but I think I know the answer. By the way, my favorite so far is Pretty in pink. On the other hand, I just remembered that I have to spray my garden XD

They are ONE of my favourites. I think I draw and paint them a lot because I grow them, and their flowers last a very long time, and change colours throughout that time! So, yes they are a constant source of inspiration for me through the year- i even use the dead flowers to make cyanotypes with.

great Pictures!
I like that you added

Thank you @revelim

Beautiful artwork, I love the blues and purples used in the hydrangeas. And the photos of the shadow mapping are really cool.

Thank you very much @catonwheels

I love the color flows. So relaxing.
Especially "a Beautiful Fragility" - is something else!

Thank you @yaan

Really love the different flowers are portrayed @opheliafu

These are all beautiful! But my favorite is "A Beautiful Fragility."

Ahh the cyanotype! My favourite medium.

My fav is grow the sun. very groovy style there!

Awesome work ! Loved going through your post

this is a brilliant idea @opheliafu! To review your year on steemit with the art you created here! I might steal your idea - but of course I will give you credit...

Yes do it! It started out as a practicality for me- I have so much work that it takes ages to scroll through my blog. So I decided to start picking my favourites and cataloguing them into themes. It sort of made sense once I'd done all that work to share some of it! :D

Wow! good for you! and I thought I was prolific - anyway, I will... blessings!

These pictures are unusual and chic!))) I always like your work! Your work is worthy of a world exhibition!)))

You are very talented and artistic, beautiful wok.
