The Rose

I was feeling down today, so I decided to have a little Art fun.  It's been a while since I did anything without at least starting a class besides my drawings for kids.  I drew this rose and originally planned to water color the Rose, but I decided to switch to pastels last minute.  I loved it after I cut it out even more.  The next problem was a background.  I was thinking plain white or plain black, but it just didn't feel right.  Finally, I settled on the original pastel scene that I made back on my blogaversary.  A little crazy, but I honestly love a little crazy.  To me, it's a freeing piece of art.  A lot of people probably won't like the combination of the two, but I am 100% OK with that.
