Very cool painting, @scrawly, but once again, I think the lack of contrast between the rose petals and the background hurt this design a little bit.

It will probably look better with a background, but I was pretty happy with the finished rose and didn't want to mess it up. If it's digital, I would have tried making a background but with traditional media, sometimes I feel it's better to stop before making a mess.
