Well, Carolyn, every artist has his way. Your way can be hard; you really need to get that placement of the first element right. But that does not make it wrong. Here is a link to a artist whose work I really like. Take a look at his demo section. You will see you are not alone in your approach. I would go crazy painting like this but he seems to make it work for him. I tend to block in large shapes first, then paint the details on them. But like I said have a look at his work you might like working in a similar style.
