Cannonball Tree flowers

There are two ways to look at this painting. One is 'Yuks, what kind of colours are those? Cannonball tree flowers don't look anything like these!" The other way to look at it is to say that if I have to create something that looks exactly or close to the real flowers, then I might as well just post a photo of the flowers and forget about painting. Actually, I am not sure if these colours came about because I just could not replicate the original or because in the process of painting and trying to imitate nature, I decided to paint the colours I wanted to see instead. Anyway, it was a good painting exercise and more to come!
Now to relax and play around with the Canon 400D.
