I don't want it to be just a pretty flower painting; I wanted something unsettling to show through, but I feel like it's not there. There are a couple of details I really like, just from a formal point of view:

Not sure where I'm going with this. But, I think it's time to just move on to the next one.

The third one is great, just like it is. Knowing when to stop is crucial.
