@Sadie Webb thank you

The warmth in that palette does the heavy lifting. What made you land on that particular range of yellows and oranges? I'm curious if it was about the light you were chasing or if the saturation came first and pulled the rest of the composition into place.

That warm glow in the petals feels like late afternoon light. I've been trying to capture that exact quality in some café window scenes I sketched in Portugal last month, where the sun hit these old ceramic tiles just right. You really caught it here.
