Pastel, 5x7

While visiting my friend Shawna, I noticed this beautiful little succulent on her kitchen table. I was immediately drawn to its intricate patterns, interplay of shapes, reflected light and color. I snapped a quick reference with my cell phone camera and painted this later on that night. That heart shape in the center was a happy accident and unintentional. I was focused on the positive shapes of the petals and didn't notice that they created a heart until I took this photo of the final. This is on UArt 400 Sanded surface with a complimentary pastel underpainting.
