Yes, it's the white mystery flowers again.  I love, love, love how this one came out...  These flowers have daisy like petals around the outside and finer whispier, more yellow petals on the inside/top...  Do you know the proper name of this flower??  If so, please advise!  I  may still have to paint a few more before I get 'em out of my system.

    Whatever it is.....it is beautiful. Looks like a Chrysanthemum to me but I'm no flower expert.

    Looks like a chrysanthemum to me too, you can usually tell by the smell of the crushed petals. BTW it is lovely as always.

    I believe these to be chrysanthemums too. I have never painted them because I didn't think they were very pretty...until now, this is gorgeous Diane!

    It's beautiful! I love the way you handled the paint on the inside of the flowers, you can feel hos delicate those petals are. Very nice!!!

    The juxtaposition of your elements are grand and the colors bold and beautiful Diane!

    My eyes popped open a little more when I first saw these because they appeared to literally come off the canvas! That is testament to your awesome painting technique, one I love to study time after time. You're my hero!

    My first thought was chrysanthemums, but they also could be dahlias, which have a similar petal style. My grandmother grew large red ones all around the house. I've not seen any like them when I try to find them to plant.

    I think they are chrysanthemums too, especially by the leaf shape. Lovely painting!
