For my piece i wanted to be able to show myself through my art work. I choose this still life to portray my life. I used a very simple pallet to give off a very romantic feel throughout the piece. Most of the piece is on the low end of the value scale witch are mainly in the background of the piece, with a very high key yellow in the front giving the flower more light.
