Jacaranda update

The jackaranda painting is nearing completion and the composition is taking shape. The colour of jacaranda flowers can be tricky as, in prints and photographs, it tends to be on the warm side of the spectrum but, in life, I find it on the cool side which is the spectrum area I am using. Of course in the Australian light the early morning light assists the blue area of the spectrum and the afternoon light the warm areas of the spectrum.
