This painting took forever and in all honesty I hated every second of it. Why I took a picture of this and painted I can only blame on my need to be different from people who were just painting a flower. I tried to add and put a lot of layers of paint on my acrylic painting. I began with just the shapes and tried to get more and more detailed though i don't feel i did that good of a job most likely due to how I wasn't happy with it from the beginning. I will admit the best part though is probably the foliage in the back of the painting and the many variations and hues of greens I used along with a red to really make the leaves seem like they were coming out. The other thing I did well was the white clay behind it trying to show the blues and white milky laze to it instead of a boring paper like surface. It could have been much better but I never have been into planting plants anyway.
