Can this be saved? My darks,are too dark and the balance is off. Some of my flowers are funny. I guess I am wondering what to do with the center of the big lily. My attempt to shade with ultramarine resulted in an ugly color, not bright or vibrant. Sooo I tried to lift and add mmmmmore aliziren then that became too dark. I really like parts of the picture.. any suggestions?

Well, I think this lily painting is really wonderful--I like how it goes from bright blue background on the left to muted colors on the right. The flowers are lovely, bright; if any of them are "funny," it's not noticeable--I just get an overall impression. I think all the large lly needs are the stamens!
