As I cant seem to get this above image enlarged, Ive edited the post and added the following two close ups:
well worth enlarging (which they do) to see how I create the flowers
So its changed radically and I think its become really 'me'. I always let the painting develop as it wants, so to speak.Would appreciate knowing your views. Probably that the vase is not now the centre of focus. .. but I dont mind that.

Oh, yes, such a transformation! I am so glad you had the clickable close-ups too - it was great to see how the flowers were painted. And the whole does look well balanced because of the changes.
I just love it!
Wow! I thought you were going for a textured flat look and now you've made the picture pop off the canvas.
Love the colors of the flowers and how the whole picture has more of a 3-D feel to it now. My favorite part of the painting is the details on the vase.
Thank you Kari and Robert. Thought you might like to know the reason for the orange background 'window' impression. Its because we are so high here up by the Long Gallery that you can see rooftop tiles and red brick from the windows as you go up the stairs. Seeing the finished product on the computer screen, I realised I needed to strengthen the ornate handles - which I have now done and must stop fiddling!!!!.
Beautiful work, Joan! Very expressive and bold! Nice colours, too!
I enjoyed clicking and enlarging the flowers so I could see those strong, bold brushstrokes! WOW!
Rhonda and Claudia glad you liked the bold flower work. A style Ive been using off and on for years when I want strong colour and organic design.
Joan,
I LOVE your composition in this painting. It's eye catching and very effective. Symmetrical compositions can be so static, but not this one. Beautiful painting.
Sandy - Thanks for your artistic thoughts. Composition is one of my favourite aspects of any work and really enjoy - though it usually goes through many stages as I develop an acrylic piece .
