Sara's Carving Progress

Progress with my lilies has been somewhat slow going. The pace will pick up once my Flexcut knives arrive in the mail later today. I'm questioning the upper background and thinking of alternatives. Reflections in water of a rock aren't so obvious in a wood carving. Below is the image my carving is based off of. The horizontal log at the bottom of the printed pic isn't visible, but it is part of my relief. The contrasting lines add interest.
