An update by Julie Riker

 Lotus on the Lake
20x20

I posted this painting last week in an earlier stage.  I could tell it was not working but could not put my finger on what it needed.  Thanks to some helpful comments from DPP members I was able to rework my compostion a bit.  I think I am feeling happier with it now.

This looks fantastic, Julie. I like the changes you made - the gap between the flowers leads the eye right into the painting - beautiful!

Really gorgeous Julie. This is a nice larger size also. Thanks for opening this painting up for critique. The members really enjoyed interacting.

Thanks Claire and Mary Beth.
I feel that I was the one who most benefited from the critique. The things that were pointed out to me were quite obvious once I realized. It helped steer me in the right direction to finish this.
