Unfortunately, I've adjusted the flower painting - not too dark but a touch of some granulating darker values around the bg. "Lack of value has its own appeal." I'll have to remember that!RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7104034804712021440.post-73280340539695564172012-05-28T10:51:20.464-04:002012-05-28T10:51:20.464-04:00I really like the flower, Rhonda.

Check out Mondrian's "Blue Chrysanthemum" sometime, an image of which has been on our wall forever.

It's going to be a scorcher - what a strange year we've had, weatherwise, already!<br /><br />Thanks, Susan and Kathryn :)<br /><br />Sherry, we all feel that way about bathing suits after we hit 40, I think :( Hard to be okay in your body when it's changed to much and you didn't even realize it!! I may work more on the blossom.<br /><br />Thanks, Pam :) You're right about a few darks into the bg to make it work - I'll have to see that and work on it this weekend.RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7104034804712021440.post-2682504114136561192012-05-26T11:08:02.596-04:002012-05-26T11:08:02.596-04:00The flower is absolutely stunning and a dark drop ...The flower is absolutely stunning and a dark drop of abstracted background will let that baby sing!

Except my threshold is about 75. Over that and I'm in the house. The only that used to work for getting me outdoors in that kind of heat was swimming. Unfortunately, I don't have my own pool and even if I did, I can't imagine stuffing myself into a bathing suit these days. I'd be mortified.Autumn Leaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010044052621228719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7104034804712021440.post-91690248104279319352012-05-25T18:25:09.422-04:002012-05-25T18:25:09.422-04:00Like Deb, I think that crow is just the best, so d...Like Deb, I think that crow is just the best, so don't do anything else with him! the jester is coming along so well, and I like the colors of that eye-catching (or should I say eye-crossing?)outfit.Watercolors by Susan Roperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15091873961431846148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7104034804712021440.post-75708245158511075102012-05-25T14:04:10.544-04:002012-05-25T14:04:10.544-04:00Rhonda - love your Jester - gorgeous colors.

I'm proud of you - going slow and letting it dry in between - let's see how that works!
