More or less finished, but I am not really happy with the background... to light? not enough contrast? too much green? Thanks for suggestions!

The simple blurred background works well, presenting a unifying and soothing softness. If you consider a darker background, you may want to look at the photographs by Jim Wickless at http://www.naturepicoftheday.com/photographer/jim_wickless. He handles them well. Nonetheless, you have created an utterly delightful painting. The petals are delectable. What medium did you use? Looks like airbrush. Fine work!

Thank you Jack! I used airbrush for the base color, e.g. light purple for the more pink petals, and then used my favorite tool, the soft pastels, for the rest.

I like this painting. When I look at the pedals I get a feeling of softness that you caught. Agree with Jack about the background.

Loving the colours. And the background is just right for this piece. Well done!

Beautiful painting. Almost photographic. The blurred background gives it a nearly realistic Depth-Of-Field-Effect. You could test if another blossom with a lesser blur between the foreground and the background would give a better effect. But I think it is verry fine just as it is.
