Geraniums are one of my favorite summer flowers to paint - and these are in my Great Grandmother's teapot! I seem to edit a scene for a painting, without even realizing that I've done it. I often don't see the things that weaken a composition until another points it out to me. In this painting, I didn't realize I was overlooking the stonecrop that spilled from the teapot - until I looked at this photo! It would only detract from the painting to add it in, so I didn't see it! It's funny how skills progress into an auto-pilot process until pushing towards the finish. That's when things kick into high gear for me, and I want to fully describe my feelings in a place - with paint. All I strive for is to improve a little each and every day. Painting number 3890 in 3890 days.
