I love how colorful and vibrant this is! Pomona's eyes, too, are so kind. She looks proud. What a sweet and beautiful piece!

Aw this is lovely! It's so bright and happy! Trust Neville to turn up for a new job at Hogwarts in Gryffindor red, with a lovely clashing tribute to his wife in his choice of tie :P The variety of plants is great, especially that cheeky vine coming up to tickle Nev behind the ear! The way they're looking at each other is adorable, you can tell there's more than just respect between them, there's definitely a friendship too =) Great job MA

Thanks so much! I'm very glad you like it. I see Neville and Pomona as having a very special friendship, and I think she'd be delighted to have him succeed her. Thanks for the rec, too! I really appreciate it. :D

Ah, this is just fantastic! As ever, love all the wonderful details: the various plants, the window, the little wispy curls in Pomona's hair. Also, so much love for your Neville. He's lovely. Great job!

Awww, oh my god! That's completely wonderful. I love to see them like this, she looks so happy to be training her start pupil and I love Neville's choice of robes and tie.

I love how this image feels, happiness and warmth, the plants are so colourful, and the sneaky, playful vine put Neville's side, as if tickling his ear, just the perfect touch for such a happy imagine. I loved it, absolutely love it. Thank you so much, mystery artist! This is a delight!

Beautiful - a picture that made me smile and hope it will be spring soon :-). And I learned a new word: I checked if "trowel" means what I guessed it does - I had not come across it before, I only used shovel so far :-).

[shadowycat.livejournal.com]

Well, a trowel is a small shovel. :D Thanks! I'm so glad you like it!

[hikarievandar.livejournal.com]

This is beautiful! I love all the vibrant colours - they make everything seem so alive. And I love how you captured a very real affection and respect between Pomona and Neville. They look very relaxed and happy in one another's company.

Lovely work!

[shadowycat.livejournal.com]

Affectionate and respectful is exactly the way I see these two. Thanks so much! I'm glad you like the drawing. :D

[alisanne.livejournal.com]

Oh, how lovely!
The colors are perfect, the plants, the window with the sunny sky outside... Such sweet details. :)
And I love the look they're exchanging here. It speaks of such friendship and respect.
Beautiful work!

[shadowycat.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for the lovely comment and the rec as well! I'm so glad you liked this enough to recommend it to others! :D

[gracerene]

OH my goodness, this is just lovely!! I adore your Pomona especially, and the plants are all just gorgeous.

[shadowycat.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! :D

[kellychambliss.livejournal.com]

What a lovely piece of art! All the beautiful colors of nature here, and I love that even the plants are welcoming Neville. (Well, I hope that's a welcoming vine and not some venomous something-or-other /g/). The passing of the trowel is very fitting. (Great hair on Pomona)

[shadowycat.livejournal.com]

Yes, I see the cheeky vine as playfully welcoming Neville to the greenhouse! Thanks so much! Thanks as well for the rec! I appreciate the support, and I'm delighted you like the drawing. :D

[khalulu]

Ah, that's lovely, and I can almost smell the moist dirt and flowers and greenery. That trowel will continue to be in good hands!

[shadowycat.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I think so, too. :D

[besamislabios]

This is heartwarming and happy making! Love their smiles, Pomona's hair, all the plants and flowers, the colors are wonderful. Super lovely art! <33

[anguis-1.livejournal.com]

I love the shading! And that vine! All the details add up to a beautiful picture, and it's good to think that someone like Neville is picking up where Sprout is leaving off.

[shadowycat.livejournal.com]

I think he'd be a lovely successor for her, too. Thanks so much! :D

[iulia_linnea.livejournal.com]

[therealsnape.livejournal.com]

Beautiful, with all those vibrant colours. And I love the subtle shades of red in Neville's robe. I love Pomona's hair. The passing of the trowel is such a fitting act.

Aw, this is such a lovely picture! And I like to think the tie is in tribute to Pomona :D Amazing work with the colours and detail, and them smiling at each other!

Such a sweet and touching moment. It just oozes friendliness and love of plants. Hogwart's Herbology is in good hands. :)

Thanks! I think Herbology is definitely in good hands with Neville. I'm so glad you like it. :D
