I have spent a little more time painting today and have, therefore, made more progress with the flowers. I have decided to bring two of the top petals out of the frame of the painting to add a little extra dimension. The one on the left just a little and the one on the right a little more. I have used this technique on a number of paintings which I developed to fix a blemish I caused whilst painting in a Townsville summer without air conditioning. A moist arm accidentally on the paper smudged the painting and so, not wishing to scrap the painting which was well advanced, I made the smudge into a leaf. The technique is not unknown to many artists but was brought to my attention with the 'painting emergency"!
