I'm working on this for a competition on Wetcanvas.com and I really it looks interesting to me.
The first stage I drew the painting onto canvas, and laid in the underpainting.

flower-still life
I've been working a set of still life images. They are 6 x 6 inches and I'm exploring new styles and textures of paintings. I'm using acrylic for now and I will try oils on a smaller scale when I get to use these media again. This is a further search to find my creative voice.
This is the first stage where I laid out the color and values.
This the second stage, where I began using a medium from Liquitex called Pumice Stone, I used it to bring out the texture of the flowers in the background more into the foreground. I want it touchable. Almost like a frieze. However I don't want to overwork the painiting since it's so small with textures.
