It has been a very rainy day out so I have been shut happily in my studio working on this painting. It is moving on quite well but not quite ready yet. I have been using my big palette knives with lots of juicy paint. I like to catch the painting unawares, so it has been turned to the wall for a few days. I can see better what is needed when it is back on the easel. Some of the blooms have changed colour to aid a better balance.
