Peony Update ... or ... This Is Being Painted with One and a Half Eyes

As of yesterday

More pinks this morning
More pink, and some shadowing started

    As soon as I finished the background, I started thinking of ways I could have better handled it. And I am still sorely tempted to completely cover the flower, and pour some warm greens over everything else.[probably NOT a good idea at this point] I am using a quiet "flower" pink, and a hot pink in a few areas. The greys are aureolin, pink and cobalt blue.
   As for my eyes, I had what I thought was a retinal detachment about ten days ago - giant floaters and flashing lights, and "seeing" things out of the corner of my eye. When examined the next day, the condition was diagnosed as a "gel detachment", and it would resolve on its own. But my vision is still a bit blurry in my left eye, which had been the dominant eye. RATS!!!

  2. It's looking fabulous!!! Hope your eye gets better quickly. I had a floater a couple of years ago and it drove me crazy.

  3. Wow Kathryn this is beautiful! I can't wait to see the finish! And I hope your eye gets feeling better soon, at least it wasn't what you thought it was right?
