Flower block


 


This is the second reworked poppy painting... As you can see it's had a complete make over several times!  It is not going well, to the point where I've completely painted out the poppies and turned them into roses and lily's!  I can't get the colours right, and I can't decide on the compositions - lesson learnt, make all these decisions in small studies before embarking on the main painting!  It seems too dark and dreary and I am very conscious it's looking too patriotic - red, white and blue. 

I am so bored of this painting I just want it done and dusted but I fear it's already over worked and probably a lost cause. I think I should just let it go and move on but I'm just not very good at admitting defeat!
