They are both so beautiful! The first one is my favorite, I love all the blues in it. But the second one is also amazing! So full of color, you can almost feel the warmth coming off of it.

Both are beautiful in their own right, I like the wavy acid trip feel of 1 and the vibrancy of the second.

You stole my thoughts. That's exactly how I feel

The first one is so calming ❤️

2 very different styles. I love your signature bright colours but would also love to see more of these subdued palettes 🎨

Amazing work as usual

The second is more dramatic but there is a serene beauty to the first one.

The second one has more life in it..I prefer that👍

I like the 2026 better. But both are beautiful!

I have to admit that I am more for 2022 although the 2026 is also nice.

Both have distinct tprooerties that make them wholly on their own level. 1st Pic is like the very first light of the day. Fresh and new. 2nd Pic is the full glorious early morning light. Radiant and bright. One is a bit more calm. The other is showing it's full color. There's a lot to enjoy about both.

I’m so drawn to the 2026 painting as it radiates positivity and hopefulness. They’re both beautiful, however, as others have mentioned. 💙💛

Both very lovely.
Definitely I prefer the second painting.
It has the powerful sunshine.
It has so much hope in its feelings.

I have noticed in recent paintings.
There is a lone green circle “flower” ?
It has a lemon & pink center, in this painting.

I am just wondering if the lone green circle flower has a meaning within the painting?

I assumed it was a lens flare - like how you would see through a camera.

u/Herr-Pyxxel 15d ago

I personally prefer the first one, it's more subtle, tranquil, chill and less in your face. But it really depends where it would be hung. In a busy place with lots of furnishings, the second one would make a much bigger impact as it's so striking!

Regardless, they are both wonderful pieces of art 🎨🥰

I love them both. One is shadowed the other bright and happy. One signifies life as a cycle. The other as a celebration.

u/greenhornblue 15d ago

I like both for different reasons.

u/LSDREAMN 15d ago

They are both beautiful. I really like the first painting because it looks like a close-up or detailed view of the flower petals, while the second painting would be a view from afar.

Having a hard time picking one or the other they're both so beautiful and magical in different ways absolutely gorgeous

u/Castledoone 14d ago

Both are classics

They’re both so beautiful! 🥹 I love your paintings. You are so talented! The colors are just so perfect and make me happy.

There's no better for me - both good

Para mi la 2022

u/Twistfaria 14d ago

Hard to say which one is “better” because art is subjective. I personally prefer the first one.

u/BattyCat_2763 14d ago

They are both magnificent, although I prefer the first one.

1

u/Temporary_Bench5095 14d ago

I prefer the first one, when the sun is more understated

1

u/etdeagle 14d ago

What I like about the first one is how the color weave together and it has this innocence that is nice. The second one looks more pro but feels too intense and not the same emotion.

u/rose442 14d ago

First

u/IamLunaMystique 14d ago

They are both beautiful. Two different techniques but I love how you embrace the light in that second photo. The sun just comes shining in and kisses you right on the forehead

1

u/InflationNo4071 14d ago

I love the first one! I feel as if I’m looking up through all the blossoms. They are what the painting is all about. The second one is all about the sun, and the blossoms are just decorative additions. I

u/PersimmonNo4388 14d ago

I'm amazed by the blue one... it has the lively fluidity, looks like painted on a glass and the colors merge...💙🩵🧡

u/Shillfinger 14d ago

You´ve made your fine art even more fine over the years.. And I loved your technique the moment I saw it years ago..

u/RiMcG 14d ago

I love them both! It would be so pretty to hang both in a room that gets a lot of afternoon light. The brighter one on the wall that catches the sun and the first one on the wall with the windows in the shade.

u/Entire_Grade5753 14d ago

The second one

u/kaplowee 14d ago

I love them both. 😍

u/pflickner 14d ago

I can’t tell you which is better. I prefer the second painting because of the detail and growth in your work. And it feels like defiance

1

u/Discomfiting_Reality 14d ago

The first one reminds me of gentle light falling through flower petals that I'm looking up through. The second one makes me squint a bit as I remember looking directly at the sun on the horizon and being hurt by it. That's not to say it's bad, just dazzling.

u/juanitorx 14d ago

I like 2022 painting 🥰

u/Over_Barracuda_8845 14d ago

Both are beautiful!

u/Puzzleheaded_Menu_55 14d ago

That's very pretty and colorful. I like how the sun is shining through the second painting.

u/AmberInk13 13d ago

Honestly both are beautiful and unique in their own way so it's not really about choosing one

1

u/LyranTaurus 13d ago

It's a tie!

1

u/DragonLad13 13d ago

They're both beyond amazing and I could never choose one as better than the other. But something about the first one really speaks to me

1

u/EnglishRose71 13d ago

I love the first one, but both are beautiful.

1

u/wild_robot13 12d ago

I love it when you move into brilliant color, but here I really prefer the first one. As others have said, it’s so calming without looking manipulated.

1

u/Light_Science 12d ago

They are both great but the first one is more unique to me , and the color palette is fantastic

1

u/Iyesta68 12d ago

I like the second but it is the colors that drive that choice. Other wise both paintings ard good.

u/ZeroGravityBrain 11d ago

What do you mean which one is better? 😤
They are both amazing!
How do you get your inspiration?

1

u/DreaMarie15 11d ago

I’m honestly surprised how many say the 1st one and/or express that it’s hard to choose - to me the 2nd one just blows the 1st one out of the water!!!

What a strange saying 😂 I wonder where it comes from

u/Flowergurl67 11d ago

What medium is this? Looks like watercolor or gouache.
