"Center of Attention"

I really liked the flower "Rose of Sharon" and I tried my hand at it again. This time, I placed two stem cuttings in a clear vase with water. Only one cutting had a flower, the other one had buds and leaves only. I liked how my clear vase appears and I'm also happy with my work on the refraction effect. The single flower definitely becomes the "center of attention" in this painting, hence the title.

"Lord, thank you for answered prayers and for healing. Thank you for your infinite mercy."

I learned something from my husband, who's a wonderful encourager. That is, if you think you're not doing it right, practice some more. Practice, practice, practice! Or paint, paint, paint!
