My love for magnolias is a great one, we have 3 gorgeous magnolia trees in front of our house and i simply adore them when in bloom. I was beyond excited to do this painting (my very first!) and it is now finished and amazing, the colors are bright, the sparkles are gorgeous! It was easy to work, no problems with the drills, it was a good experience. I am very pleased with the result! I can't wait to hang it on the wall!
