Too dark ....

I am just popping in to say Thanks for the comments and welcome to two new followers, "almost precious" and "confections in glass" - thanks for the interest!

I am working in the studio on the large flowers .... still looking at the last canvas - starring at me .... all white and empty .... what am I going to paint for a GREEN FLOWER?????? I think I have a photo to inspire me .... right now it is back to complete the RED and ORANGE pieces.

I think the background for the RED POPPY is too dark so I going to green it up a bit .....

  1. Good idea . . . the poppy shows up well, but looks sad with so much black :o{

  2. Paula, glad you said something .... I was going to skip the redo of green (there is actually a dark green in the black) but it reads so dark here on the screen, in person it is not quite as dark but your have prompted me to go with my gut.
    I will repost tomorrow
    thanks
