-Blush!- Thank you all so very much for all the compliments.
Let's see . . . I used Acrylic Paint and an ebony pencil. ^_^; That's it.
I'm very honest in that it only took me 15 minutes. I see so many things I want to touch up but the whole idea of the picture was to capture the emotions I felt at THAT moment so I rushed through it. A lot of the shading is by accident by smeared paint so I darkened it with my pencil and it turned out pretty good. To help symbolize the frustration and chaos I sketched around it messily. It sorta looks like the flower is shaking or trembling in the wake of all the chaos around it. ^_^;
I'll do another one tomorrow. I'm going to try and do one a day to 1.) Help me get back in the swing of my art work and to help practice the styles I've learned and mostly forgotten and 2.) An outlet for a lot of the stress I feel.
Thank you all again! Your kind comments help encourage me to go forth!
