Slap-Happy Green.
Summary only available when permalinks are enabled.
Not exactly what I was going for, but close, so I think I'll try this again. I got caught up in the green leaves and made them too strong of an element in the painting. I tried to knock them back, but I ended up with a muddy mess instead. I think my mistake was in working the background almost to completion before starting on the flower. All I could do was make the background darker, it got too dark and lifting color out didn't really help. So back to the drawing board on this one.
