Done in openCanvas and Photoshop. PS was used primarily for adding base colors to the original picture (done in monochrome) and using layers to experiment with color, while oC was used for all of the sketching, shading, and final touches. Bascially, the process was a test of various things I hadn't done before.
The lack of a background is intentional, and, for once, is not due to laziness or time constraints. It should suffice to say that I felt a background with any amount of detail would damage the purity and simplicity of the image. The goal was a contemplative and tranquil atmosphere-- not realism-- and, bearing that in mind, I chose to leave the background out. The title refers to how a flower is picked and subsequently dies in order to temporarily satisfy a person's happiness. This was made as a birthday gift for my wonderful aunt, but I hope that you'll all enjoy it. I feel like I'm slowly becoming a better artist, and I owe most of that to this website and to its supportive and knowledgable users. |

Well, the imagery of a flower wasn't exactly literal in this case. My aunt's a mother, so she has naturally had to give up many things for the happiness of her children.
Even if one leaves a flower as it grows, it's only going to stay there until it dies, or until it gets pollinated and then dies; some of them, however, get picked, bring someone a bit of happiness, and then die. Which is the better life? I guess I was trying to apply that question to people rather than flowers.
Also, LOL at your signature, which I just noticed.
