I'm pretty inexperienced when it comes to painting but I've been practicing a fair bit at the moment. Oils are easily my favourites. Lately I've been doing some flowers.
This is where I work (it's tidier now!), incomplete painting featured in this pic

This one ain't finished but I'll put a better pic up when it is.

i'm gonna keep adding stuff here as time goes on, i'm painting as we speak
Very pretty.
I think the top two bands of colour dominate the picture too much. It's like you added them to balance out the image, and they have a kind of heartlessness to them for their practicality. They are so heavy and homogeneous compared to the other details. They suffocate the image, for me.

thanks for the comment and I agree with you there, I did literally just put that there as an afterthought for balance. didn't go about it very subtley though

yeah I was gonna say that too
the placing of them is good for the composition but you need them to sit happily with the rest of the colours so you don't just end up staring at them
tricky to correct mistakes big rich colours like that with oils though
