#196 Fish Bowl of Flowers 9/22/19

This painting started last fall....a still-life (they were ALL still-lifes) during the oil-painting class I took at the Delaplaine.  Some of the flowers were dried, some were live, some were fake....  The only flower I liked was the small sunflower....but the whole table had to paint the same thing, so I couldn't play floral re-arranger.  The painting, never completed, has sat in the pile of classroom paintings on a chair in our computer room.  I had a great time in that class, but when I look through those paintings, they are all atrocious.  But this one, I thought I could rescue it, even though the flowers ended up going off the top of the canvas (poor planning).  So I set to work tonight to repaint some of the flowers, change the background, the foreground, the shadows, the leaves, the vase.  I like it much, much better now.  Like, not love.  There's maybe two more from the class that I may attempt to rescue.  But, not tonight.
