"Crimson Beauty"

Wednesday brought torrential rains and there was only one die hard student there for about the first hour so I painted on this beauty that was started as a demo over a year ago and never got finished. I only had started the bottom center petal of the largest bloom and of course all the yellow and green. I always start with yellow.

One hour into it two more students came into class and I had three more petals almost complete. Demonstrating to the three students that showed up. Today I finished it up after a few hours of work.

I'm pretty satisfied with it so I'm posting it. I may decide to put some loose golden background swoosh's because there are a few small blotches here and there if you look real closeyou can see them. I love it as a botanical but... out those d___ spots and their still there. Grrr!
