Calling this a redo. I kept with it even when I knew I botched it. I know what I am going to do to fix it. Think I like the before better. Had fun with the palette knives!! Ha.

On to day four!
Take a look at all the great challenge art at Leslie’s 30 In 30 Blog!
Share my Instagram link with your art loving friends!
Your painting is growing and changing – I think that is great!! You are pushing yourself – some of it is working- some not – but that is perfectly okay! Why play it safe!? Love all the texture and that ‘blue’ vase. The flower shapes keep pulling me in.
LOL, not working as much as I would hope. I’ll see if I can turn that around today. But yeah… learning in spades Janet
Glad you like the shapes. 
I’m with Carol on this. You’re too hard on yourself. You are creating every day. That’s the most important. I like what you did after because there’s more contrast with the background and the bouquet, allowing the bouquet to be more of the focus. “Merlot Bouquet” would be good title;)
Hey, yeah, I like that Laurelle
I like the light in the first one, but I thought it needed more contrast too.
The after has depth and body; the before has lightness and fun – either work! At least you are having fun, Sheila.
Getting in knife practice Val
Have fun today 
Sheila – I love the use of the palette knife. Also – love the colors!
Thanks Connie
I have new knives, better quality than what I had before. Much easier to use :o)
This popped right out at me in the Leslie Saeta thumbnails, Sheila. I love the yellow and violet together, the texture in the background, and the smoother petals. Nice!!
Thank you Laurie
I had fun with the texture. This was a recycled panel, and there was already some texture to it. Have fun today 
Love it!!! I don’t see “blotches”. Stop your inner critic, it’s messing with your muse!
LOL, didn’t think it would show up so early. OK, kicked it to the curb Carol
Have fun today!!
quick first impressions of these two gals:
before—tentative, a little superficial, slightly underweight, eyes darting around
after—sulttry, mysterious, full-bodied, secure in herself
: )
Dotty, you crack me up!! Sending a big bear hug your way! Sultry, Full bodied… well that suits the Merlot/shiraz just fine! Have an awesomely creative day four my friend
