Facelift

New and Improved Sunflower #2
Here is the new and improved "Sunflower #2." Although the original concept of using a patchwork type of paper for the petals wasn't all bad, it just didn't "read" well from a distance. (See photo below.) 

Sunflower #2 before the "Facelift"
And I wasn't too crazy about the center either. And then it was fighting "Sunflower #1" for attention. And while they were duking it out, little "Sunflower #3" up at the top was yelling, "Look at me! Look at me!" and that was just throwing everything off balance. It was wholly calamitous and why the  second flower just had to be re-worked.

Things are much quieter in the studio now, and I can proceed with stems, leaves, bugs, etc. in relative peace.
