| Something struck me as just wrong with this painting. In the back of my mind, a voice was niggling - "the background". |

| This is where the "guts" came in - playing with a fairly detailed, almost finished painting. I mixed up a puddle of phthalo green [blue shade] and a touch of alizarin crimson, and painted wet on dry, in manageable segments. |

| Here it is finished. I think the cool dark makes it look much better. It unifies the background, and really brings the flower to the fore. For those of you who have been following for a while, my aunt's surgery went very well, and she is now in recovery. :) As always, your comments are most welcome! |
