I had this wild idea of showing the rose petals curled over. I tried the deep beliver , bad mistake.
I used a pear beliver of 2 different sizes that mane it more natural.
Thats when ,after painting ,I had a different problem. The two images wasnt anchored to the background.
Just floating.My sister suggested pastel colors, So This is what i ended up with.
connectin the butterfly with the rose would have resolved the problem in the first place. but Duhhhhhhhh.
To me it's a little better.
A clay color background with cracks would have made it look like a stepping stone would have been ideal.
