Blue bottle Gardenia 5x7 still life

 Lately I've been paying more attention to the selection of objects for a still life and especially their color and how they can compliment each other in the composition, I try to visualize it in my mind first before even setting it up, then I try to recreate that concept the best way I can.

I was going for a more symbolic statement with this piece, a white rose usually means innocence and purity, I think this embodied in the female figure represents that idea very well, in the background I wanted to create an etherial mood that brings lightness to the composition.
I also did a charcoal drawing of a White Rose, you might wanna check that out also on my Daily Drawings Blog.
