working, truly i am

It's just that I could be working better. This is one of those photos that is more for me than for you. More to come if I can keep up the momentum, but a siesta looks good too!
This is going far too slowly so it is time to have a complete break from it. Right now I am regretting not painting the dark background and adding the petals of the hydrangea over it, which was my original intention. I got a bit carried away by the light at the sketching in stage, and now my hydrangeas are looking a bit too solid.

See you tomorrow, I'm off to walk the dogs.
