Beauty inspired me

Just a pink rose, but I want it to look very realistic.

and has the nerve to send me a memo with a link to this picture. Just rub it in, you old dirtbag.
(I'll get you back, you just wait and seeeeee) :)

Ref was a picture I took of my eye at the lake a few days ago after swimming, The dark circles under my eyes would be a pretty color if they were somewhere else.

ref: a photo I took in my garden one night last week. I changed it some, I usually do, even when doing realism and working from a photograph.

I was thinking while I was painting this about how I keep my oil paints in a big tackle box and I would always squeeze the tube wrong and the seam in the back would break or the tube would get a hole in it and while I was painting I'd get all engrossed in what I was doing, squeeze the tube to replace a color I had run out of, and paint would squirt out from 3 different directions and then I figured, why bother putting the lid back on, and throw it in the box and then the tubes would stick together and dry up. I wonder if anybody else is that sloppy.
