This is a larger painting (18" x 24") that I have been working on for a while. The top photo I shot back May. Then, I put the painting aside for awhile. When I finally looked at the painting again, I was able to see it with fresh eyes. In the top photo, I felt that the bottom right corner was too busy. I kept removing blossoms until I was happy with the movement through the painting. I also increased the colour saturation of the background and added the impression of a flower on the right middle edge, to redirect the viewer's eye back toward the centre of the canvas. I like the contrast of the bright lime green background with the purply colour of the flowers. At LAST I think it is finally finished!
