At the risk of boring any followers of the blog (my wife doesn't think that anyone would be interested is seeing "just one more leaf added". She is looking out for my interests here I hasten to add!) I have posted this update. I think that it does show my process and gives a feeling of the the time that I spend on a painting. Some of the time is just spent 'looking' at it and thinking about which tone to use and which part of the painting I want to give the detail to. Also, it is sometimes necessary to alter the composition slightly at this stage, in particular to the choice of colour and whether I include an extra leaf or add a flower to the composition. I like to form basic triangles with the base at the bottom of the painting with both shape and colour arrangement.
