Today I tried a couple of things. First, I did a makeover of the flower painted yesterday by giving the outline of the petals a golden tread look using the 660 Metallic Pure Gold paint from FolkArt, rendering it a discrete feel.

Bold new move, and yet the results are beautiful. The golden outline certainly gives the flower a bolder, more vibrant feel. The antique paintings evoke nostalgia and a sense of fleetingness.
