Roses are Red – Some are Yellow

Sometimes, art doesn’t quite turn out the way one envisions. That’s exactly what happened with this one. The reference photo I used was lovely – with muted colors in a minimalist style. But, I didn’t like the painting I created from it.

I added a two-toned, striped, yellow wallpaper to give the background some life using paint and colored pencil. Then I changed the vase from white to red.

Now, it’s bolder and more colorful. It pops.
