Acrylic Flower Painting

My paintings are my practice to develope my eyes. But this time, its something special for me. I did this painting to my husband as a gift for his b'day. I think its something good, making gifts by ourselves for our loved ones. 

I have used various colors - Titanium White, Raw Umber, Primary Red, Crimson Red, Red Oxide, Cadmium Red, Hookers Green, Raw Sienna and Gold here to do this painting. I also tried Coarse Pumic Gel[mixed with the color Raw Umber] to get a solid rectangular part, and then when it dried[it took one full night to get dried] I gave some thin strokes with Gold color on it.  

Finally I varnished the canvas to get a complete look. And ofcourse, varnishing helps you to protect your paintings.
