The Queen She Likes 'Em Red

This was probably my most simple piece, it only took around 20 minutes to do the rose and 20 minutes for everything else including painting and the background. However, sometimes it's nice to see something that's simple yet creative and this looks really good amongst my other pieces which are very embellished and crowded pieces. The rose is the main focus in this and one of my favourite things to create with book paper especially on a book paper background because it looks as though it's sprouted from the background and growing towards you out of the image. The quote "The Queen she likes 'em red" is well known from the Disney adaption in 1951 in which the queens guards are painting white roses red with paint. This is what I've tried to re-create with red acrylics and it looks visually effective almost like it's still dripping down the page which I love. Although this piece didn't take long it's a technical piece and shows off my skills and how I can make something so simple look very creative and dynamic. It compliments the other pieces very well.
