Painting in Stages

Painting in stages is foreign to me. 

When I let the paint dry in between visits, 

I tend to loose my immediate, intuitive reaction to the subject
and I end up changing the whole idea with each visit. 

Example:

Day 1:

My quick block in 

(over an old painting)

 Day 2:

(After fooling around with it on my I Pad)

I lightened the background, outlined some shapes, 

and changed the red flower in front to yellow. 

Then I fixed the vase and cleaned up the shapes.

I like the first one best.

Need to do some more of this. 

 NOTE: 

This approach allows for some 

wonderful texture!
