I took a few liberties with the composition and colours on this one. I don’t have any WIP (work in progress) photos but trust me when I say that it only came alive when I added blue to the background (and a hint of blue to the petals).

P.S. Yes, this is the same plum tree immortalised here, here and here.

Today’s painting was inspired by my photograph of Wellington Harbour on a sunny, summer afternoon originally posted here. I also referred to the unedited image (prior to giving it the tilt-shift treatment and cropping it to remove the reflections from the hotel window) for some of the details.
