Don't you just love soft pastels? The colours are simply delicious. However, my fingernails are a very interesting colour right now - time for a mini manicure! Happy painting everyone!

  1. Love the colour combination and the splashes of colour!!! The soft effects of the grass give a lovely contrast between the hard and soft edges!

  2. Thanks Az. It was my husband who suggested I fudge some of the grasses so that it wasn't all made up of hard lines and I did prefer it afterwards.
