I've mentioned bofore that I use two kinds of lightbulbs (see January 3rd archive). One is a spotlight, and the other is a softer, whiter light. I've found that flowers are usually overwhelmed by the spot, so for these I've been using the softer light. I did this one at the end of the day and left it as is overnight (lights off). The next morning I came in to find the bottom of the stem had split into 3 perfect sections and each had curled up in a perfect spiral, almost up to the flower! I've never seen such a thing.

Beautiful painting! I love the colors!
Fantastic painting!
My class mates and I used to take dandylion stems, strip them and then put them in water. They would then curl up into tight springs.... You got to vet creative in rural western Pennsyvania.
Comparing this painting to 'conjoined twins' I see what you mean about the light. The color here is less intense and somehow more beautiful.
BEAUTIFUL! This is gorgeous.
19 kids! Wow! Great variety of demonstrations!
this is an unusual but really dramatic color harmony. It's fabulous!!
