Snow day here in Michigan with sub-zero temps and ice. Beautiful really, but terrible to drive in. The icy blues are stunning.
I am going to add more greens and definition to some of the leaves. The trick is to keep it loose and not to dark. Very tricky business~ for me.
The veining on the one leaf is really wrong so i will need to try to fix it. I used a bamboo tipped stick to make the indentation so i may not be able to fix it. Watching colors do mix and blend is pure magic.

Another exuberant painting! The petals seem to fly out from the center most joyously.
I would say don't bother trying to *fix* the veining ... I didn't notice; and I think the lines just contribute to the overall energy: they needn't be exact.
Oh it's beautiful. I like the composition.
Yay for snow days! Yes, the roads are treacherous. I almost turned around to go back home. Icy the whole way to campus.
Leaving work now . . .
Cathy , its a beautiful poinsietta . and the bamboo stick is what I do too... very effecient for veining. It looks fine.. you know how we have to always 'pick' on something.!!
