Lovely, Ram! I like the monochromatic muted color and the S-shaped curve.

Beautiful curves and color Ram. You also did a great job of keeping the rest of it soft to support the main lines. Very fine work.

Ram:
Beautiful delicious swirls. Lovely melting soft effect. Reminds me a bit of strawberry soft cone ice-cream swirls.

Beautiful colors and curves Ram, with just the right amount of fade to out of focus. Superb abstract.

The color and the swirl are so gentle. I also like the off center placement. Very peaceful and meditative.
