This painting needed some work after thinking it was done. I am confident that if I let a painting rest a little longer that I will find the correct conclusion.
Yes, Jerry...I did darken the colors and added a cool purple background which set of the teapot. I also simplified the form of the teapot and darkened and grayed the red. I think that simplifying really helped draw the painting together.
6"X 6" Oil Ampersand Gessobord $125.00 I'm ready to chill out after this one. It was really HARD! So many petals going all different ways. I am pleased with the results. I have to laugh at myself....I thought of showing a step by step process in the painting of this peony....but....never looks like anything until the last few strokes! I am happy with this painting however I got here. This painting is found here :
