A close up

A third painting in April, whoohol!

It may not look anything special or sophisticated, but this is my best painting following the "Happiness". Why? It's my own creation, not following any guidebook nor copying other painters' idea. It is painted again a photo which I took while visiting a botanical garden some months ago. I have to creat the composition, the color tone, choose the techniques etc all by myself. Very satisfying.

If I were to paint it again, I'd make the bud less prominent and merge it to a more sophisticated wet-in-wet background. I'd also paint the branch in more details.
