Anemone

This shows the first stage of the painting, with colours droppped into the main background colour having also added drops of clear water and salt.
I almost abandoned the painting after the first stage, as the colours appeared too vivid and dominant. Once the picture was dry however the colours were lighter and painting in the richer Anemone colours made the background recede even further. Steve Cook keeps telling me this is the case and this painting has proved him right yet again!!
