No road is too long for him who advances slowly and does not hurry, and no attainment is beyond his reach who equips himself with patience to achieve it.

        I have added some finishing touches to the flowers in an attempt to give them depth.  I am struggling again with the lighting.  I don't want the flowers on the far right to totally disappear but I think they still need to drop back a bit to make them look as if they are going down the side of the pot rather than the front.  This is tricky ~ if they are too dark they will disappear completely.  There is also a problem with the perspective but I might just leave it as it is.  Each painting is a learning experience ~ next one will present its own set of problems.
