WIP almost done Candlelight Roses

More work was done on background lace curtains, mainly by mixing brownish greys and dropping in color while wet.  Then the foreground was made to resemble antique faded lace patterns, done on a diagonal to provide movement within the composition.  After correcting values and softening edges I'll be able to pronounce this one finished, maybe tonight or tomorrow.
