I really wanted to do this painting on my own. I wanted it to be a cheery reminder of life. I wanted to practice skills I’ve been learning in tutorials, but to do it without the hand holding. It took a long time for me to choose just the right flower and then the right vase. I wanted colors that complemented each other. Actually, I was pleased with the outcome. I’m sure I’ll do much more solo painting as time goes by, but this encouraged me to try!
