I was able to create an entirely different daisy painting style, one that gave me more color, more depth and softer  more fluffy feeling flowers. It &#8216;s actually less realistic than actual daisies  and my previous daisies (just scroll back one post to see). These are a bit more loose and artful.  This doesn&#8217;t mean I like the others any less. I want to have a wide variety of tools and techniques at my disposal. Of course, the painting didn&#8217;t start out this way.  I thought I had finished before I got to this stage. Below you see what I considered my initial finished painting &#8211; silly me!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"432\" height=\"569\" src=\"https:\/\/winifredsgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/daisies-in-gold-light.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winifredsgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/daisies-in-gold-light.jpg 432w, https:\/\/winifredsgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/daisies-in-gold-light-228x300.jpg 228w, https:\/\/winifredsgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/daisies-in-gold-light-300x395.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I liked the fact that these daisies were so loose and fluffy. That was an accomplishment within itself. The values were good &#8211; (lights and darks) I was done with painting &#8211; so I thought. Fortunately, I had a problem loading the images to my site &#8211; in fact  my site wasn&#8217;t working at all.  I contacted Jon Munson, <a href=\"mailto:intae@jntae.com\">intae@jntae.com<\/a>  who maintains my site &#8211; whom I would highly recommend if you have any problem with a website &#8211; really. It&#8217;s been 10 years and he has never failed me once!  Well, he took care of the problem.  In the interim, I had time to keep looking at the initial painting and my irritation grew.  That&#8217;s how it happens with me.  I can move from satisfaction to irritation in a fairly short time.  I thought I would only work to add warm and cool colors in the highlight and shadow areas. I very much liked the texture of the flowers. Without explaining in detail, you can see the result. A lot happened.  It&#8217;s been a few days now and I remain ok with it. It&#8217;s a good sign when I don&#8217;t want to go back and &#8220;fix&#8221; something. In one of my last post, I returned to the painting and removed the strawberries! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m very close to finishing my mom&#8217;s portrait. Only the dress color remains unresolved.  Sometimes I like it other times not.  I hope to share it with you soon.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The police continue to shoot Black men. Seven bullets in the back!!!<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I decided to create one more daisy painting before I moved on and I&#8217;m glad I did.
