Audrey Completed

I have completed Audrey, the succulent flower that blooms once a year.  What a treasure to catch this in a painting.  This is an 18x24 piece and is much larger than the pieces I have done recently.  It was enormous fun to spread that much color around!  Initially I had planned to do more with the background but after I got all the initial pinkish gray in, I felt like to do any more would detract from the star of the show.
