On the advice of my friend Michael Lindstrom, I've added some sparkles to this floral painting. (We can describe "Sparkles" as an indication of something lively, but not over-described in the background). Ah, Lindy...how ever did you get so smart!? :)

Boy, I sure love that vase, Celeste. To me your paintings always sparkle. This is beautiful!
I'm a big one for breaking up planes with suggestive dashes. They make a world of difference that's very clearly seen in these two photos of the painting. It came alive with the 'sparkles.'
I liked it before and I like it now...it is just different, but both version are great.
I love how it turned out, great job Celeste!
Ces petites touches de nuances bleutées lui apportent une maturité supplémentaire.
Gros bisous et bon weekend.
You are truly great at these florals, sparkles or not.
If you would have asked me before what you could do to make this beautiful floral better I would have said 'nothing'. Not true. It is better ... really a beautiful painting Celeste.
sparkle plenty!
A great looking still life, Celeste! Cool sparkles. Merely as a thought, maybe some of the sparkles could be pushed back a little in value for subtle interest?

Kisses and good weekend.
(thanks, Martine!)
it did make it different and more lively for the eye movement. I use the word confetti for the same principle. Sparkles sounds more fun.

This emerges from the background in a subtle way that I love. very nice!
