I've been working on this piece for the past few hours. There's been a lot of shading involved. I'm very happy with the way it turned out but I have to say I had a real hard time deciding what color to make the flowers. Finally, I resorted to the internet for inspiration. I looked up lilies and roses. I found it odd that the illustrator put carnations attached to dogwood blossoms, but there you have it. I made them more violet than the dogwood flowers which are a light lavender with pink overtones. The roses are a pale peach. I colored the birds to represent my precious mountain bluebirds. One of the butterflies is kingfisher blue with deep orange and golden yellow spots the other is purple with orange yellow spots.
