A few weeks ago, I started this as an abstract painting. You can see it here. I added some stylized flowers and stenciled circles. I don't think it counts as an abstract anymore because I added identifiable (even if stylized) elements. What do you think? Is that right?
In any event, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. It's definitely a departure for me. That's one of the reasons I really appreciate Paint Party Friday - it pushes me to try new things in my painting. If you want to see other examples of painterly goodness, check out this link.

This has come together beautifully and the simplicity of the additions makes that background look wonderful... so glad you have shared the finished product... it is a treat... xx
Looks fantastic! Love the layers in the background. :)
Your background is amazing and a beautiful compliment to the flowers (or the other way around).
Hm, not sure if this is still abstract. But I like it! The colors are so nice and sunny. Happy PPF!
And yes, the conche is tricky to draw. :)
It looks wonderful,Rinda....and the additions look great.

Beautiful painting, love the minimalistic flowers and the colors!
these look like really cool flowers. What striking colours! Really made me feel vibrant just looking at it
I agree that it takes away the abstract but I love the additions you made, it really makes it :)
To me this is still an abstract since the flowers are done in such a stylized form.
I really like this, very striking!
This truly is one of the most beautiful abstract paintings I've ever seen. Well done, Maria. :) Happy PPF

I don't know if it counts as abstract or not now, but I much prefer this version. Whatever you'd call it, I like it!
This looks just wonderful! Love the added flowers, they really make the picture for me. You did a great job here, no matter if it's abstract or not.
