Description Pfffff this took me forever!!
It was a present for my grandma's 80th birthday and I had to finish it before the party
This is part of the reason of my inactivity this last week, along with a shool book I had to read...
Anyway, it's painted in acrylics and has taken me about 10 hours to finish
I hope you like it!

So beautiful, the colors are nice and smooth and blend together perfectly (in my opinion). I'm sure your grandmother loved it

Absolutely beautiful. I just love how you managed to make the petals look so delicate via the white outer edges--it looks amazing. Love the vibrant colours, love the shading, and love the petal details. Another lovely piece from you.

P.s. for some reason, when I look at this piece, it reminds me of Christmas. XD I think it's the shades of red and green you used, plus the white.

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!
That comment made my day! ^^
It was very hard to paint this. Those little petals... omg they were SO hard! And at first they didn't even look like petals XD

YAY christmas! There are flowers that look a lot like this that we have at christmas We call them "christmas rose". Dunno what the real name is in English XD

btw, I accidentically ripped the canvas at some point It's in the upper right corner somewhere, but luckily you don't see it that much anymore. I almost got a heartattack when it happened XD I had been working on it for almost a week and I had only 2 more days to finish. If it failed, I wouldn't make it in time anymore.... But luckily I could fix it with some sticky tape

My gosh, that must have felt awful when it ripped near the last moment. 0_0 I would have been in hysteria. XD I get something similar when I try so very hard not to crease a drawing, and it all goes so well...until near the end. My wrist will get caught on a corner and a huge crease appears when I move my hand to draw--it gives me a heart attack. And I'm like: "NOOOOO! Now it does not look professional and the damn crease will show when I scan it in." XD

I believe the 'Christmas rose' you're thinking of is called "Poinsettia." Here's a link to what it looks like: www.orbans.com/wp-content/uplo…

That happens to me too a lot! And I WAS in hysteria when I noticed it. And I didn't even notice it immediately so when I saw it I was like "How the hell did that just happen?!"
I never noticed any crease in your drawings
Most times you don't evn see those things unless you know they're there XD

YES that's them! They're so beautiful. I love having them around ^^
Also love that picture, it's so cute XD

Wow, super knap !!!!
Jij kan echt mooi verven en het 3D effect in de bladeren is super cool !!!
De kleur overgangen van het donkere naar de witte rand maken het af!!!!
Echt geweldig !!!
