New on the Easel

There is no such thing as a "still" life when it comes to flowers. By the time I got back to this tonight it was fully open with all the interior petals in full ruffle! In other words a completely different painting. Painted in the buds and leaves. Adjusted some values and edges and called it  a day. (or night:)).
