I think I'm finally through with "Jelly Beans", the painting that named itself. In the beginning I thought this was a floral, and it probably will compete in that category, but everyone commented on the jelly beans; therefore, the title. "Jelly Beans" has more moving parts than any painting I've ever attempted and probably took longer to paint as far as hours spent painting.
As I'm finishing a painting I will sit it on our mantle and look at it, right-side up and down, and look for mistakes. I'll work on my other projects and come back when I find mistakes. I thought I had finished this painting at least 3 times. Does anyone see anything they don't like or what you think is a mistake. Remember the painting is in many different stages of drying. Some paint is wet and other paint is very dry and hazy, waiting of a coat of varnish to bring out the depth of color. I like feedback!
