This painting challenge was painting the rose, which was placed in a precarious balance position on the jar. The flower kept unfurling its petals more as the painting was going, despite this being a quick study. As light moves constantly while pleine air painting, so do flower petals in still life's sometimes move as they decide to change directions and open and close. Leaves move at their own whim when gravity takes hold, especailly on flowers out of water. One has to capture the essence of the scene and go from there, if the objects are not completely "still". Or resort to some tape sometimes. :)
