Think I am ready to count the flower as done. Apologies for the bad image. It is breaking up a bit. Larry suggested that the large dark spots were conflicting with the yellow shapes in the center of the flower. I was only concerned with the two on the bottom. Looking again, I noticed just how distracting they were. Four corners of a square. So I painted over, added some new smaller splatter to fill the voids, and I am happy with the result. Thank you Larry!

And thanks to everyone who shared suggestions!

To the next small start, I added Shiraz Inktense lines. I see hills, snow. sky. Still considering adding textures. Had that idea in the beginning. Might be more to come with this one.

“I am on a roll!” Sheila said out loud. “Too bad it is going downhill and gaining speed fast.”

She had struggled all day. Painting, reworking. Ripping the failures into shreds. She worked through lunch. Skipped supper too. But the harder she worked. The worse the paintings became.

She decided it was time to stop. Time to admit defeat, for tonight anyway. She would face tomorrow just as Scarlet had – with hope and determination. Tomorrow is another day, after all!
