This fifth painting in my "Flower Feast" series is the most involved composition and the brightest color scheme. The purple background was a daring choice and I may go back in and tone it down a little but overall I am attracted to the colors here. Sometimes placing a piece up on the screen enables you to see it more clearly then when it's right in front of you. Looking at it right now as I type, I can see spots that need more of an accent while other spots need to sit back a little.

One of the things that holds this together are those little light green leaves. Having just the slightest touch of a red outline unifies the overall composition. The reds are all over the color spectrum from hot pinks to slightly subdued oranges. Very fun to work with especially when combined with red's complement, green.
Well one more to go in this series. Then what? More on that later.
Now that I have a nice little bank of paintings, it's time to look beyond each individual piece and toward how they fit together to truly be called a series.
