the picture, but I have. I started to blend things today. Added more shadows and highlights. I've also started to paint in little details and such. I'm getting really close to a nice violet color. I don't want too much blue or purple. Something in the middle is nice. It seems like no matter how much I blend, it's never enough. It still looks unfinished and choppy. The petals need to be given more depth and character. After all, petals aren't always perfectly shaped. I don't want the bouquet to look fake, but I do want a certain amount of artsy-ness to show through. If that makes any sense at all... So tonight I'll keep working. I work late tomorrow, so it might be 3/4 face again next time.

Feb 7th: Acrylic on Glass Ornament
I'm actually not done painting for the day, but I'm going to post what I have done so far while I have internet access. It might not seem like I've done anything when you look at
