On a previous visit I had applied watercolour to this sheet, and decided to carry on with acrylic paint and oil pastel, leaving the blue areas of watercolour in the centre, where I had thrown salt to take spots of colour away. The wavery blousy water damaged flowers erupted onto the paper, like a jilted bride's throwaways.
