Medium:  Acrylic Paint on Mixed Media Paper    Size: 24x36
Title:  "Rose Petal"

This piece is titled "Rose Petal" simply because that's what the image is.  I took a abstract painting class where we got to use an electron microscope to magnify objects thousands of times.  This painting also had to be done monochromatic, so I chose to use Pthalo Green.

The electron microscope only identifies in black and white and the rose petal had a value change from light to dark and had very small cracks(?) in it that were unvisible to the unaided eye.  It was a very interesting class to take and some of the images from objects that people brought in really yielded some amazing views.
