Thank you very much ^_^ I honestly haven't thought of those things you mentioned until now! When planning a painting, I always go for the composition, lighting and colors that feel or look right, without really thinking about the technical things. It somehow managed to come together nicely in this one.



The flower's an Iris, blue/purple Iris. A blue colored one usually has the meaning of hope and faith, and a purple wisdom. I'm happy you like this painting and also sorry for your dear ones that has passed...
