Many people have asked me if the colors of the words have any meaning or if they are significant. At first, I didn't intend for them to, but I realized that they did. There are two sides to each petal, a side with words that are not my own, and another side of words that are my own for the most part. Without thinking I decided that I would paint the side with the words that were not my own with just regular acrylics that I didn't mix, and I decided to paint the side with my own words with mixed and customized colors. As I began to paint, I realized the association between the words and the paints themselves. On the side with the quotes that are not my own, the colors are not my own. On the side with the words that are my own, the colors are mixed and made by me. I thought that it was neat that without even thinking, I was able to make the project more personal and have another thing to talk about during critique!
