This is my version of a very old renaissance art done by William-Adolphe Bouguereau and I took my own spin on it. I drew this for fun. I really am proud of the flowers, because I am trying to work on plant life and animals in my drawings, please let me know what you think of this.

comments and critiques are most welcome.

Brilliant work! you've really done an amazing job with both the details and the overall atmosphere is so dramatically beautiful
just one little thing stands out...the blood in the shadow of her wrist needs to be just a little darker, its making that area flat...other than that...i love it!

When I saw the small version I first thought it was a photo.
It looks really nice!

Her hair, flowers and the butterfly are beautiful.
But one point of critics:the red shadow? around her right hand
(especially on the right side of her thumb) looks pretty weird.

But I still think this is beautiful!
Keep up the good work!

I think it is a great work.. good job with the details. nice subtle shades with the flowers and girl. this is one of those paintings that would look best from a distance so that the opticals of it could work

The detail is stunning. I never would have thought of using those colors in the hair.
The positioning of the roses could use some work. The positions they are in make them look flat. (For example: The peach rose had a red rose positioned directly behind it making it appear to end right there. The red rose would be squished or tilted off to the side if it was that close.) (Note: Do different colored roses grow on the same plant???)
The podium appears to 'twist' on the right side you can see the corner and part of the other side. However, on the left you see the side and part of the top. (you should not see the top at this angle and the side should get slightly smaller as it goes back -[ one point perspective ])
Also your decoration adorning the lower part of the podium does not follow the rest of the angles and gives it an award appearance.
