In The Studio: Just Paint 3 “Tired but Painting”

Okay so I was up all night and really was about to die from lack of sleep but I gave this my best try but I should have stopped after the first couple of washes when it was fresh and loose.  My intention was a free impression of several flowers from the garden but I go a little too fussy.  I will show you the image where I believe I should have stopped.After a loose drawing making sure the flowers fill up the paper  I ran a back ground wash of cobalt violet, blue and raw sienna.  Everything is going pretty well I like the looseness of the flowers.I brushed in some color for the flowers, just loosely indicating a position for the flowers not the actual buds.I put in the foreground shapes but since they were in and out shadow I kind of lost the feeling of the mass and the light.   I used bright colors and was still having a good time.I should have stopped here but I did feel compelled to put in more details and that was not a good idea.  I used lemon yellow, new gamboge, thalo yellow green, cadmium scarlet for this painting and of course I use cobalt blue and violet.  I was happy to paint the piece even though again I really went too far in the next image.You can decide for yourself if the painting is too fussy.  It is not a train wreck and I did paint so did you?
