Often I place the flowers that I find growing together on the same page, like I did here. The Feather River Canyon is all in bloom now, and the lower in elevation one goes the more prolific the blooms are. These particular paintings also have no composition planning. I just place the flowers wherever I feel some balance is needed. Most of the time they turn out OK. Sometimes I make a mess and have to begin again.

Sometimes, too much planning can ruin the drawing? This is lovely. I love the variety of flowers and colors. I’d say you’ve achieved the “needed balance”.
