I started this painting with the actual flowers right in front of me, at the same time as the stargazer painting a few posts back. The unfinished painting sat on the shelf after we returned from California until I was able to put my attention on it again. I knew I wanted to show both mystery and excitement in the way the one very gorgeous flower was peeking out from behind the other. So I grappled with what to leave in and what to leave out in order to achieve this, eventually striking the balance I was aiming for. Oh the thrill of trying to create what is in the mind's eye!
