The concept of this piece was to create an hypnotic vertigo spiral while incorporating rose petals. I had a little trouble balancing the center of the piece with the two concepts while still maintaining a somewhat realistic rose but I am pleased with the end result. The piece is painted with Winsor & Newton and Rublev 18th century reproduction watercolor paints on Arches 140# cold-pressed paper. The coarse nature of the paper coupled with the Rublev paints created some interesting textures in the petals and shadows of the rose. The original painting is 21.75"x14.25" in size.
