I'm gonna keep painting the 8x8s for now, later will assess which ones are worthwhile candidates for being painted bigger.  This painting will probably make the cut, it has a fresh quality and spontaneous (looking!) brushwork that I like.  Also, I know I can bring out more details in the foreground tulip petals--with a bit more space.

    It's difficult to paint a rich, deep, saturated red like that yet for it to harmonise totally with a paler background - but you did it Diane! A great painting.

    Your vibrant color combinations are uplifting, Diane! Also, you have an uncanny way of building forms that are so dimensional they almost feel sculptural.
