Blush

I am very happy with this one. Partly because I love roses, and partly because I really pushed myself and it paid off. I have attempted creating art from this reference photo before, but it did not look anywhere near this good.

This piece has been donated to the Arti Gras 2014 party that supports access to the arts in the City of Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. It will be auctioned and hopefully it will raise a bit of money. Proceeds from the event enable a wide variety of arts programs and activities in the community including arts programming for all ages, free concerts, the Cinesreies film program, school programs for children and opportunities for access for those with special needs.
