Daffodil Trio fixing, editing a painting

Well, don't cha know some paintings require a bit of noodling...  The first time painting Daffodil Trio, I painted all the daffodils equally.  Each had a graphic punch that is ok but not exactly what I was going for.  When I re-worked it, I tried to make the back daffodil stay back a little better...   Getting a good focal point and a sense of depth can be a challenge--  these are issues I continue to explore!

  1. Now those are some stunning daffodils. Man, you can paint some good flowers! Love these- so fresh and the petals are wonderful. Love the way you painted the middle part- I did not know how to tackle that and you did 2 of them outstanding (third one is backwards) I like seeing what you did with editing...
    Love daffodils and love this!

  2. Good choice, Diane. The second version is much more effective! I continue to read your blog and enjoy your work!

  4. Thanks for sharing! Even that little tweak makes a difference. Something a true master is able to realize while others [like me] would continue to scratch his/her head wondering why it doesn't work.
