Floral Glory #2

I just couldn't leave my first entry to the DPW Challenge alone. I used it as a jumping off point for this one . I added more colorful paint on top of the original to arrive at this. Hope I helped it. Whenever I paint past a good stopping point, I always get the feeling I'm probably sacrificing a painting I like for an unknown result.

This is my contribution to The Cropping Challenge at DPW posted by Rita Kirkman.
Rita is a SUPER artist! She posted a photo showing a large area with way too much information. Her instructions were: " I challenge you to simplify this photo by picking a part to paint by cropping it out"

I hope they don't revoke my artistic license for this. I like working from a close crop. But not much color was evident in the crop. So I had to do a lot of inventing. It is actually my favorite way to work. I came up with a rule ( I think it's my own, at least the wording is)..."Don't let a photograph get in the way of your painting."
Thank you for this challenge, Rita! I am a great admirer of your work!
