This painting/drawing is done in both ink and acrylic paint used as water media. Sometimes its extraordinarily difficult to get true colors to show with a photo or a scan. I've tried with both and am still not getting the true colors. The rose is slightly more yellow and has blues and lavenders in the shadows. I took the reference photo for this last summer - the rose captured my attention because of its delicate coloring and the beautiful rich foliage surrounding it.
It is painted in the style of a botanical illustration with detail, but also has some elements of a more contemporary feel.
I suggest a white matting for it, and a frame of approximately 14x16".
