Paint Party Friday - The Rose

Welcome to Paint Party Friday! This piece is called 'The Rose'.  It's a greeting card in watercolour pencil and crayon with an acrylic white background.  The story behind this is that I made some mistakes (errors with the rose, the shadows, even the background) so it became an acrylic white background after all the corrections!  I think it works now.

I think it works now too. It looks great. I believe this is what we call serendipity. A happy accident; where something goes right by going wrong.
