I sometimes bring a little of the painting out of the frame and, at first, I decided not to do this, as most of the flowers would come too far out of the frame to be comfortable. As a last minute decision, I decided to bring out the low petal at the bottom. Because it was dark, I first wet it with clean water and then added more colour on top so as to eliminate a possible 'line' through the petal caused by the original edge to the painting. I then add colour in spots on the wet surface until I am happy that it looks natural. After a day or so, when it is completely dry, I will know if I have been successful or not. If not, I shall have to keep adding paint until any possible 'line ' is eliminated.

I have introduced more green/yellow/ochre colours in the background of the top left. I am blurring the edges against the sky which adulterates the sky a little but, any colour that we see, is influenced by the colours we see around them.
