Well, I have spent a considerable amount of time getting the canvas covered on the sunflower painting. There's quite a few components in this painting and I wanted to make sure everything was in its place before I began adding detail. Right now the poor guys look a little flat. Its going to be quite a job to go back over the painting ~ tightening up some edges, adding highlights and shadows ~ and I'm sure I'm going to have to go over it many, many times. I'm planning on also using lots of glazes ~ trying to give each pedal extra depth and luminosity. This painting is also going to be a challenge because I think it does require a certain looseness in style combined with a clear concentration on specific detail ~ should be fun!
