painting completed

I have just completed the white gum flower painting and will include it on my web page as soon as it can be processed. Art House Reproduction have been delayed because of the terrible floods in Brisbane so will not be able to process it for a few days.
I am happy with the completed painting and hope that the composition leads the viewers eye to the flowered area. There is some contrast between the rather busy flowered area and the group of leaves on the left of the painting which are less cluttered, but this section is also placed to guide the viewers eye to the flowers.
One tip for users of the masking fluid - make sure that your solution is fresh and don't leave it on the painting too long as it makes it difficult to remove.

I have photographed it on the easel which gives an indication of the size of the image.
Onward now to my next project. I am toying with the idea of making the jacaranda a long, horizontal image but we shall see once I have sketched the images.
