Description
This piece is filled with symbolism. The red in the red-violet represents love. The green in the green-blue represents life. The blue in the green-blue represents peace. The rose represents both love and life, while the peace sign speaks for itself. I'm at a place in life where I'm filled with peace, contentment, love, and a love of life itself. It only felt natural to get all those emotions out on paper.This was created for Psychedelia-Club's ([link] ) peace sign contest.
This is also my 20th deviation for the 100 Theme Challenge. ([link] ) ...The theme for this piece is "Love"--Variation 1, Theme 2.
Soft pastels, 2011.

Wow I really like the colors on this one and how there is a geometrical pattern over the natural shape of the flower

Thank you! If you look carefully the geometrical pattern is supposed to form a peace sign

I like the way you used pastels here.This could be considered a fauvist art piece. "Les fauves" were a group of French painters who used bold and wild colors for their subjects.

Oh wow, I love that style! I didn't know it existed, but now that I do, I love it, lol. If it isn't yet obvious, I love colors that are just a bit too bold to be realistic. From that page, it looks like I'd like Matisse's work too. Thanks for the feedback!!

I guess the answer is the mood and technique. The impressionists were using a technique and a mood that is more towards calm impressions and feelings. The color palette of fauvists is more wild and as they say in photography more noisy.
