Latest Painting In Progress

I'm painting pink ginger in a jungle setting right now. I'm using friskit film sealed with masking fluid around the edges to preserve the center flower and folliage. This allows me to use a lot of wet washes without worrying about getting unwanted paint in my center flower. I want to make the background look fuzzy-- out of focus, and the center flower and folliage to be fully in focus to create the illusion of depth.
