Not sure if this even looks like… anything. Not sure if it is post worthy, or done. I AM sure that I enjoyed painting it. I spent a good deal of time, just focused on the color, the tip of my brush, and having fun.

I was quite far along before I “saw” petals. And the one on the bottom was too small. Made me think of Nemo’s tiny fin. I went back in with water to make the petal larger. To “erase” color. Looking at it now, I think I need to go back in and round it out more.

I also played with the idea of cropping it to a square, and deepening the entire background with the indigo. This was a quick digital sketch, just to see how it felt.

What do you think?

Feeling better now that I am caught up! I have started my Pinterest board for this challenge, still need to add today’s . Check it out! And take a look at Leslie’s site, where the daily art is posted.

Happy Painting everyone! And Happy Downton returns Day!

    Sheila- It is gorgeous. This is one of those times where I can’t believe someone has doubts….the composition, the beautiful blues, and the energy! The fact that you had so much fun with it is a bonus!
