Blooming Petals

As a mixed media artist I tend to save everything. A long time ago, I took apart a rose and saved the petals, not having a plan for what I would do with them. I came across them and saw a little garden, a flower in each petal. The bottom portion of this painting was created by adding wood glue to a birch wood substrate, and burning it. It creates this beautiful coppery color and great texture.
