Soft Flowers

.
The little 5" dish here had a mark in the middle of it, so I thought I would use it to paint some really soft flowers just fading into the background.    The dark leaves cover the porcelain's blemish. 

Sally Clough used to say you need to see your painting from the other end of the room  . . . . . you can't see these flowers from the other end of the room, but close up they look soft and flimsy and sweet!

I was thinking of doing a traditional Chinz design on this little bowl, but before I knew it I had painting it like this! A little bit like Chinz, but definitely not a traditional pattern.
Anyhow, I liked what I did too much to wipe it off and start again.     It has the tiniest enamel dots around the inner border.
