Plumeria Second Time Around

I am starting the plumeria painting a second time.  18x24" versus 22x30."  The center plumeria will be lower rather than having all flowers in a straight line.  The last time I began with the background which took center stage.  This time, I will do the flowers first. I do intend to have a loose background though not so dark. (I may crop the first one to save most of that painting.)
