I have used acrylic paint for this piece and I put in a significant amount of colors. While I was making it, it gave me a very saturated
feeling because of the colors and it reminded me of a sunset with a flower in the middle. The reason why I put in a rose is because sometimes I like to add a floral touch to my art pieces.
Also, in my perspective it looks like a flower outside of a flower. What I notice when I create designs in my art is that I enjoy adding hearts next to my shapes so it can add a loving and warming feel to it. Whenever I decide to do solid color pieces, I enjoy outlining almost everything to make it stand out and make a bold statement. Part of this piece was inspired by the Hispanic artist that goes by the name of Frida Kahlo because she motivated me to add hearts to my art.
