Description
got the title from a novel by Gabriel Garcia Marquezi've been wanting to get this picture out of my head for A YEAR now
its done in watercolour and acrylic, and guess what im soo cheap soo i substitute the watercolour with acrylic..
the 5 ml professional grade watercolour tubes here in SG are about 6 $SGD while the 75 ml tube student grade acrylic is about 4 $SGD..gee what a RIPOFF right?
garrh!anyway PHOTOSHOP is being such a TWAT!!!!!!!!!!! i can't paint or do any fucking thing there without having it reboot a thousand times..if it still continues to piss me off i SWEAR im SO going to join in his Pro-Traditional art campaign!! gar!

This is absolutely gorgeous, I love how you've painted the roses, I suck at roses lol (i should just stick to portraiture and sewing)
Is there meant to be a rose for every year? I dunno who, but that would make it so much cooler lol.
She's very beautiful. I like the way you get the impression she's just given up on her tears and sat still for a very long time.
Faving it!!

Hello 
You have earned yourself an ODD 
This particular feature is to celebrate deviantArt's Traditional Art appreciation day (that is becoming a week long celebration of wonderful features and artistic inspiration)!
I feature both popular artists and new ones in order to create a closer community spirit - if you would rather your work not be featured anyplace but on your own page, please let me know and I will take it down.
Otherwise you can view your feature (and other wonderful talents!) at this link:

Keep up the great work! (and forgive me for the cut-and-paste message - it's all just a part of time management

wow, this is so beautiful, I really like it.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez is a great writer and "one hundred years of solitude" is a great book. the girl in there, is she based on one of the character in the book?
