White Lily flower painted in egg tempera

This flower was painted as a friend's Birthday present! So I had a very short deadline in which to paint it!!!  The size of the piece is small, 10.5 x 14.8cm. 

I used the same idea to create the texture in the background as my self portrait, using small brush strokes to build the colour up. Below is a series of photos showing the painting stages.

The first photo, top left, shows the flower drawn on the gesso board in silverpoint ( it's a pen with a silver lead instead of graphite). The middle starts with the base colours of the lily. The one on the right shows the flowers details beginning to be moulded into shape. The bottom photo shows the lily petals taking shape while the leaves and stems have better definition.
