For my final piece I decided to use Christopher Wool as my biggest inspiration and use most of the traits he uses in his work for my piece. So as I used roses earlier in my work I decided to use them as my background.

Over that I used acrylic paints to paint think lines over the majority of the canvas but leaving it so you could see the edges of the roses.
Then like Christopher Wool's work I decided to put something across the middle of my canvas and sort of separating the white paint. I decided to use leaves for this and painting them all black. I then added another small rose in the top right corner so it didn't look too bare.

I decided not to use the dead flower in my work as I though it would be too fiddly and not very effective. However, I do think I could have added more aspects of Philip Taaffe's work though.
