I've been working on this painting for a month now. I was taking my time with it. I'm glad I did. I was taking the advice of one of my favorite Canadian Artists, David Langevin. I took one of his workshops one year and this was one of the key things he talked about. He said, to take your time with your paintings, don't rush it, because every time you come back to it, it's always fresh. I found that too. I also challenged myself by applying his technique of using thin glazes of paint for the shadows and for the flower petals, which seemed to have given the petals a more transparent look. As you can see by the photo I used, I made a few minor changes and gave this painting a lot more depth to it as well, which I felt the photo didn't have. Now that it's done I'm ready to move on to my next painting. Hope you enjoy this one!
