lillies and cherries

"lillies"

I'd like to be able to draw/paint the way Japanese artists do... on the left, my first, timid try...  













and below examples of real art:):

 Oh, I guess I've found an appropriate saying for today: 

案ずるより産むが易し。 (Anzuru yori umu ga yasashi) Literally: Giving birth to a baby is easier than worrying about it.
Meaning: Fear is greater than the danger. / An attempt is sometimes easier than expected.

And coming back to art itself maybe such a perfection requires nothing but time... just time... say 20 years ;)
