I chose this piece because it reminded me of my mother. There is a lot of detail and even though the flowers may not be perfect it was the best that I could do. I really like this piece because it has so much potential. Some problems that I had with painting this piece was mostly the flowers because they have so much detail to them and not a lot that I could see. Another problem would have to have been her skin color because I couldn't get the tint right. Other than that I didn't have very many problems. I'm happy with my painting because I know that I did my best and that it may not be perfect but its perfect to me. This piece wasn't as easy as I thought it would be when I first saw it. It was successful even though I had a lot of difficulties. This painting is what I picture my mother in on her wedding day. I hope that she is as or even more beautiful then this painting.
