Daily Painting 897 Water lilies at White City Park

Its 4 x 6 miniature oil painting. I had a heck of a time with this one, I tweaked it about 3 times.
This is not one of those paintings that almost paint itself. For some reason it was a total battle. The front two flowers, used to be one flower. I scraped most of it off and put new petals on it. Still wasn't happy, so I turned it upside down, it sort of looked almost like two flowers so I brought out the second lily with some careful shading and highlights. I am happy with it, how do you all like it?
