As I paint the cactus rose, its beauty is starting to pop out from the paper.  Deviating from standard procedure, I cheated by adding my dark colors to the central blossom, causing it to "pop," before I had finished laying down the lighter colors throughout. 
I love to do what the painting asks me to do.  It's like an intimate conversation, or a dance.  A little bit of tango thrown in early in the lesson keeps me dancing.
