Coming along really well Amanda, love the movement you are getting into the long daisy stems, great sky as well

Yes - just needs a bit of zhooshing up the whites in the foreground.... I would itch to place a bright white flower near the horizon line, just off-centre to the right.... but far be it from me to interfere........ One thing, though - have you ever tried Flake White Hue, from Winsor and Newton? It enables you to lay in your quieter whites, and then come in with juicy dollops of pure Titanium on top - with much less drying time to worry about (a bit, obviously, but not so much).

Thank you, Ros, Robert. I see where you mean, Robert... I may well take advantage of your suggestion. And no, I haven't tried *any* Flake White Hues - but I think I may have to. Too late for this one, of course, but there is ALWAYS the next painting. And I know which brand to go for, too, now.

Lacking a certain something, that I shall call pizzazz for now (it may just be better lighting, but I don't think so). Definitely needs the whites tidying up. Of course, they are titanium white and will take forever to dry, so the fact that I won't be able to touch it until Monday means - er, they will still be pliable then.
