Graceful

Do you remember this painting? I blogged the first version of it a couple months ago; there were only a couple of thin bluish marks (clouds?) behind the flowers that never quite worked for me.  So it got a boost this week; I added more saturated color for the background and hinted at a vase.  Makes it a bit bolder, I think.  Didn't change the tulips though (from birthday bouquet). 

BTW -if you haven't clicked on the title of these emails in awhile, take a peek.  I made a couple little changes to the blog - to freshen it up a bit.  Can you tell?

Fun talking with you - now back to painting.
