SMALL, but BIG in color...

I started another painting today...sat down at my table and saw this little canvas calling me...again I started out with painting my canvas background RED...then decided on a complementary palette...greens & purples.  Not finished by any means, but wanted to share.

1st laying down of color

about an hour into the painting...

My sister says that the center red flower below looks like a 'bulls-eye'... I hate to agree but I have to...tomorrow I'll work on it...always love feed back, even if I don't agree.  Big surprise to her (that I go along with her on this idea).  
: ) 

last pic of the day...decided I needed a striped vase...

(love those stripes) & more details in the flowers...got any ideas to add?  
Enjoy....DEIDRE
