I Need Your Opinion...Painted Flower Pot...

I am doing a Flower Pot swap on another forum...I painted this last night and its not completely finished yet but I would love your opinion on it before I decide if this is the one I will send out to my swapping partner...

I base coated this in enamel white and painted the edging on the pot and plate in Mystic Green...added the leaves and vines and then the flowers...


Thanks so much...

Smiles & Hugs...

Thanks again...

BBB - I like it a lot. If you think it is unfinished...I debated the merits of adding some small dots to the rim of the pot, but I think it might clutter it up and detract from the gorgeous vines and flowers...then I debated the addition of a fine horizontal line rimming the pot plate and again, it would probably detract from the vines and flowers. Remember, a plant will probably go in the pot and so that would balance out the look. I think you are extremely talented and anyone receiving such a beautiful hand painted item would be delighted. So don't change a thing, it's wonderful!
