Shrinking Violet




Since we had a more laid back week of classes I took the time to do some personal projects- yay! 

This piece was inspired by a class project where we were given color idioms-- and a friend got "Shrinking Violet." I liked the phrase and although this really doesn't show 'shrinking' I had fun making the type pretty and took a lot of inspiration from 'violet.' 

Its been a while since I've picked up a paint brush... and it shows. I tried to stay pretty close to the sketch, but it was definitely easier to work with pencil over paint. I do love the purple color though-- it looks so pretty in the light. :)
