Revisiting White Hibiscus

I painted a series of hibiscus flowers a few years ago. I have never been happy with the paintings for the two I did of White Hibiscus.

 





 I have been toying with changing the background on them for a few years and this week I went back in to see if I could bring them together and finally declare them done.  I think I am finally finished with these two, and happy with how the background change has brought out more of the colors in the petals that were lost next to the neutral ground in their first iteration.
