The image I chose for the Summer canvas was a close up photo of a vibrant flower, that I took in June 2014. The reasoning behind my choice was that the colours are bright and powerful, showing the full growth of the natural form.

At this stage of the painting I decided that it was too pink for my liking so I decided to incorporate purples as well, as shown below.
Whilst enduring the process of the painting, I struggled with the proportions of the flower and overestimated how big the outline would be, resulting in the painting covering more or less the whole canvas, which meant it would be more time consuming to complete.

After finishing the painting, I came to the conclusion that it could be improved more as the detail isn't as good as it could be and the bottom right hand space is bare, it could do with filling up or having a background with relevant colours or shapes.
