My mother got this rose at church a few weeks ago and I took the initiative to draw it in various orientations on different days, until it withered. It was just an experiment to see how I would draw the same subject differently. I think I like the second one (in graphite) the best. Interestingly, that sketch was the most rushed of the four.

    Oh I just love the one done in blue (pen?). It is just so eloquent with its back turned away from the viewer as it wilts.

    One word – INCREDIBLE! :-) You always take the simplest subjects and transform them into awesome works of art!
