Lupine - Negative painting





Boy do I admire artists like Ms. Duffy (Karen) who can do negative painting... here's my sorry attempt at it... I got lost really quick and figured I better quit while I was ahead. I quite like the petals bottom right, but then it just got disjointed and strange looking. Doesn't help that this is a flower I've never seen in real life... working from photos is not always the best way to do something like this.
For those that care about such things this is done on 140 lbs Arches Rough 9x12 block. Colors Quin red, Quin Magenta and Hansa Yellow... all by Daniel Smith.
