The End Is Still Near

I began work on the orchid flowers and then took some time away for visits. I'm hoping to get into the studio today and finish them up, but have an appointment right, smack-dab in the middle of the day, so that is an unlikely event. I will try to sneak into the studio before I have to leave. It would be nice to finish up today since it's my father's birthday.

It is very difficult for me to keep the flowers simple. A few have sharpness and detail, but that will work as long as they don't all get that way. I changed one fold in the fabric that is still bothering me. The curve is just wrong and needs adjustment. Now that I've written it here, I will remember to make those changes! Looking at the image, I feel the darkness has been lost in the righthand section. I am hoping it is just glare from the wet paint. We will have to wait and see...

Enjoy.
