This painting is finished and I have to drag my own hands from it -- no more further fiddling!!! I have to learn when to stop before fuzzing over unnecessary details and destroy that freshness so precious to a good watercolor painting.. No one wants to look at a flower painting that seems tired and beaten up! It does not matter the orange on the left most petal looks a bit too warm and the shape of the stamen is not exactly correct -- those are not the most important things to worry about at this stage of painting. The most important thing is that the finished painting works well as a whole and has a clear focus. I am stopping now. Right now. I am happy with it and will try not to ruin it from this point on... :-P
