Mallow flowers - Complete

What a crazy week!  It was Canadian Thanksgiving this past Monday and we had a bit of a family "to do" at our house this year.  We did the turkey and stuffing, and pumpkin pie and salad, so there was a lot of cooking and organizing and arranging to do.  On top of that, my youngest had a stomach bug that same day.  It actually wasn't as bad as it sounds, but it was interesting!

As well, I had a spur-of-the-moment job interview (which I think went really well), and a job skills test this past week.  And through all of this I was working through a flu/cold bug as well - is there such thing as an easy flu/cold?  If so, I didn't get that one :P.  So, with life being what it was this week, I didn't get much opportunity/energy to play in my studio.  However, I did finish the Mallow flowers!


I'm not 100% sure it's done, but again I can't think of what else I'd like to do to it, so I'm calling it done. The biggest flaw I have with it is that it's kind of boring to look at.  Do you know what I mean?  When you get right down to it, would you have this framed and displayed in your living room?  I'm not so sure that I would.  I think it lacks interest.  I considered adding a background, but all the ones I could think of (that weren't just a dark background), would've had to be incorporated in the drawing stage.

I'm going to post this on my Facebook page as well, where I will be asking for opinions on this piece.  I would really appreciate your thoughts on this, so please click here to offer yours!
