Big Idea

For my big idea I drew an flower on an canvas and put a flower in front of it.I never used pastels on canvas before and I probably never will, but the flower symbolizes me, and the pot is me and my uncomfortable state of mind.I was gonna connect the canvas and the pot but i realized that would connect me too much to the pot, so i put it outside of it, to show no connection. It came out pretty good, except my flowers were a bit sketchy.
