This is a mixed-media piece I made using techniques I'm learning in Creative Textures. I'm not really sure that this style of painting is something that I will do again, but I had a lot of fun creating this one.
The title "The Language of Flowers" refers to the french text that is collaged to some of the flowers. I cut the lines from a book that I found in a flea market that is a series of weekly stories that were printed on newsprint and later bound into a hardcover book. The stories are dated from November of 1886 to October of 1887. The tales are accompanied by wonderful engravings.
Some of the phrases on my piece are:
"Parce que, parce que....." ("Because, because....")
"jusqu' au bout, mon cher" ("until the end, my dear")
"la bonne nouvelle" ("good news")
I hope you all have someone speak in the language of flowers to you soon~~*sigh*

This is so much fun! Love all the colors and the dark hand across the pot. Looks like your class is really opening things up for you.
I like the flowers..and the black hand is interesting.
The colors that you used are fantastic and the story of the painting is great . Some time back
I worked in a flower shop and some of the people told me about that book and about some of the flowers.
