This is the current look of the painting after the knife work.
This was the previous look. The sky had no texture and the color was too cool.
These photos show various stages of re working the sky with lighter, brighter colors reflecting the colors of the flowers. it is adding a lot of energy and life to the painting.
Now, of course I've decided that I want to change the painting again I'm sure that you're sure I've lost my mind but I was loving the look of the lilies up against the grass so much that I decided to pull the viewer back into the yard and work plants over where the sky had been.
I think I'm really going to like it when I get finished with it. What do you think?
I'm much happier with the painting now. It seems to make the flowers stand up better against the background and give the composition a nice contrast and balance.
