Perhaps you would have said snow?
Either way, it's okay.
I wouldn't have guessed that was ice if I'd seen this out on the internet somewhere.
Simply put, this was a miscalculation on my part.
When I saw the image, I thought, "Oh, I can do that with no problem."
Wrong.
While it does look like a rose, it looks like it's lying in the snow.
It wasn't suppose to!
Nor do I think that looks like a blob of ice.
A blob of something, but not ice.
Still, it was fun. It was a learning experience and I'm not totally dissatisfied with the end piece.
This to me is what art is all about.
Doing. Experimenting. Learning.
Going again until your reach a level of satisfaction you're happy with.
What is your definition?

actually, from one who lives where there is lots of ice and snow, it looks like a rose lying in the snow with a bit of crystalline ice on it.. Very lovely
ReplyDeleteSeriously? Wow, thanks! That makes me feel a little better. I'm still not satisfied, but that's okay too.
DeleteSince I didn't see what it was "supposed" to look like I think it turned out just right. Maybe if you look at it again tomorrow it will be just right to you too. :) Happy Valentines Day to you.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tyanne. It looks like ice crystals on the rose that is lying in snow. It's lovely. And it is all about the process, isn't it.
ReplyDeleteI could tell it was ice right away. It has that melting, almost about to fall off look.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.

It looks like ice on the rose but I agree it looks like it's lying on snow and I think I see some yellow snow nearby, lol. I really didn't focus in on anything besides the cold rose till you mentioned it though and the rose is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLet's talk!
