Today's challenge was to paint loose unstructured flowers. What I have learned in this past year plus of challenges is that my style is neither loose NOR unstructured so what should be an easy peasy painting is not for me. . . . .
I made several attempts using my favorite pink/ purple combination - the flowers were dismal failures though I did like how the buds came out.
SO to get out of my head I decided to try colors I typically stay away from - oranges & reds - and while I'm still happier with the buds than the blossom - at least this one does resemble a flower LOL

You always impress with your artistic ability. Your description of this challenge had me smiling. Yes, you do like realism-my favorite too-. Did you ever think of making videos? You would be good at it. Back to your terrific warm orangey bloom and buds..it's beautiful. Lovely shading, and your buds are amazing. Always enjoy your creations each week. TFS
