"Lord, thank you for the rose. Help me to be thankful for the thorns, as well."
This pic arose (hah! a-rose!) out of pondering that prayer. Also, my art teacher had talked about how putting something beautiful against something ugly makes for an intriguing composition. I tried it, and here it is.
This is my first major essay in Corel Painter IX. It wasn't as hard as I thought, once I got familier with the way it handled (and watched all the tutorial videos). The sky's the limit from now on.
Wow, that's beautiful!! Your art teacher was right, the beautiful against dark makes a stunning effect. I love the way you've included every tiny detail and shading into the picture, such as the petals on the rose and darkness around it. It's almost like I can reach forward and actually touch it -- the texture of the whole thing gives it such a good realistic effect. I like the shafts of light above the rose as well, and the way it curves around as if there is darkness about the flower.
All in all a perfect piece of work, and since this is your first major picture using Corel Painter... wow... I don't know whether to go green with envy or look up at you in admiration. I'll just do the best thing...
Dang, I wish I had a tablet.
Any way beautiful pic; prayer is an excellent inspiration!
