As usual, a challenge...duh, Jean. I wanted to use this new stamp but I think it was just a bit busy. In retrospect, I wish I had done one focal point flower at a time, because there really are only the three chrysanthemums and then the bud opening at the top right; the rest is leaves and background. but I had '3' in my head, fortunately I stopped at '2' for my first painting.
Stamped it in the Gina K amalgam, did a wash of light gold with a little green for the leaves. Green has all but vanished and I didn't really want to add more, as I wanted to keep it warm. Used more yellows, reds and some browns for highlights and shading. I didn't want to cover it with a sentiment so I broke the sentiment up in four pieces. The inside says 'Autumn a mosaic of them all. In this case, the autumn is the watercolor, not the spring, but you get the idea.
Everything kind of ran together in this stamp so I did my best to stay within each main element; that was the biggest challenge of all.
