Too lovely for words !

The beauty of movement depicted through the delicate curls lends character as if the flower dances and beckons the viewer. Exquisite!

I love this picture! It's so peaceful and relaxing just to look at. It's a beautiful representation of such a beautiful flower, Guest has really done it justice. It's a shame for those who cannot fully appreciate it!

an amazing painting

It takes real talent and skill to paint white flowers in watercolour, as anyone who has ever tried knows well. Coral Guest is extremely skilled in her art.

Beautiful painting!

I quite like the painting as a botanical representation, but it is rather lifeless. I am currently doing macro images of flowers and partiularly Lillies. I do try to frame them differently and try to present my images from a different perspective than simply reproducing a lifelike image. The program on BBC2 was very interesting and give a great insight into the way Coral manages to capture the lifelike quality to her painting. I think more attention needs to be paid to the stemens though.

Having only recently dscovered the richness of the lily flower (I'm gradually accruing a collection in my garden, it is the texture of the blooms that most fascinates. I'm intellectually exercised by the idea that Coral Guest has achieved this representation without layering on the paint. I hanker to obtain such vision.

Although it is correct botanically i fail to see what everyone else does. To me it is a realistic representation which is praiseworthy but i feel it has no depth or passion. It depicts a lily but to me represents and symbolises nothing.

The dream of my life was to paint just like Coral...what a blessing! I am sure a lot of hard work goes into her work, I consider myself lucky to be able to enjoy her color, form, delicacy of brush..well done Coral! and thank you!

Being a complete beginner, I find it too much to take in on one visit. Bookmark for ever.

Rose from Yorkshire
I am a botanical painter and of all the books on this subject which I refer to Coral's is my bible. I think she is the greatest flower painter in this country. Rose

It's lovely!!!The picture contains pure philosophic views of life and teaches us how to enjoy complete happiness.The message is that we should guard and respect natural harmony.

Watercolour lover. Essex
This is what true watercolour is all about. The skill, the patience,the observation and dedication able to pull from a flat peice of paper these living beautiful flowers. My thanks to the artist.

I may be 13, but this picture is awe inspiring! It's like a photo, Coral captures texture perfectly!

Wendy Comert, Wimbledon
The painting holds a feeling of joy, as well as truth and simplicity. The information Coral gives about painting the white flowers without using actual white paint is amazing! Very inspiring and uplifting. Thank you ...

Sylvia Balch from Frome, Somerset
I find this painting very harmonious it is a true masterpiece very skillfully composed and painted
