beauty picture The last few posts, including this one, are fragments from a much larger piece featuring fourteen roses in differing shades of pink. It\'s taking a LONG time to do and is definitely my most ambitious piece to date. I wanted to share this beauty as I particularly love the way the petals are folded over. Some serious rose enthusiasts may see it as a defect but to me it is quite beautiful and adds character. While I sit here editing I am often faced with the question of whether or not to disguise tears or bruising in the petals to make them appear more \"perfect.\" I guess, in the end it\'s a question of aesthetics and personal taste. There is an ongoing argument concerning the use of photoshop, particularly when it comes to airbrushing, already gorgeous models and whether that is to blame for our society\'s obsession with unrealistic and unachievable beauty ideals. My answer is simple, what is real? We see things as we are, not as they are and everyone has a unique vision. In this sensory, sensual world in which we live maybe we only see glimmering reflections of how things really are and somehow art taps into that and provides a truer picture. https://.facebook/pages/Kate-Scott-Fine-Art-Prints/267810495523\" facebook jazzjumper.tumblr/\" tumblr .wix/jazzjumper/kate-scott-photography?ref=nf\" website
