Pink Swirl Bouquet what did I get myself into?

Pink Swirl Bouquet  Oil on cradled wood  11" x 14" NFS
As I up the size and complexity of my paintings,  previously employed techniques which I thought I had mastered seem like new and perplexing challenges.   I had more than a few "what the sam H am I doing?!" moments while painting Pink Swirl Bouquet.

    Great painting and it looks fresh with no labored signs. The mark of a master!
    I am glad you wrote you struggled because it happens to me and I have no idea why. It is hard going through it though. Keeps me humble for sure!

    Looks gorgeous to me, too! I know what you mean about how tough it is to go any larger from the small ones. And anything over 16x20 is positively aerobic!- It takes a lot out of you physically as well as mentally! A friend of mine with much more painting mileage says it all comes with practice- sort of like an athlete in training! (he's been a great coach!).
