Bowl of Beauty Oh Oh

About a week ago I completed a 40 minutes oil block-in with a #14 Short Flat of my next painting. I was happy because I had manages to keep it loose and simple.

The next morning I was excited to start painting on it again. I put my apron and gloves on, refreshed my palette and began. Then I started getting confused. The set-up didn't look the same. It took me a little while to figure out what was wrong. The bud in the front of the bouquet had bloomed! What I learned: Try to paint cut peonies alla prima!
