Broken rose

Following the drawing that I made for a farewell card, there was a small farewell party. It was on Thursday night, after office hours. We went to a chinese restaurant (favorite of the person for whom we were throwing the party) on Warmoesstraat and had a set menu. It was ok, but I don’t think the food can be considered as authentic. It was more of international chinese food. The street was packed with tourists and strange people that night. We saw a naked man passed by at one moment, and a while later a man with a flower pot on his head walked by. He wasn’t holding the pot at all, and it was well balanced on his head. Bravo for him. Although he was clearly under influenced.
At the end of the party, the owner of this tiny restaurant gave each of the female guests a long stem pink rose. We were surprised, didn’t know where they came from. It was beautiful and it smelled so lovely. Well, unfortunately, my rose didn’t survive the trip home. It broke when I tried to get in my car. I was quite unhandy with it and completely forgot about the length.

  1. hele mooie tekening, hoewel ik de envelop om de een of andere reden het mooiste onderdeel vind… mooie schaduwen ook, maakt het geheel tastbaar.. :)

  2. Dank je victorie! I vind de roos ook minder mooi. I wilde hem bijwerken, maar het was niet meer mogelijk. Ik heb een klein schetsboek met ingres papier en pastelkrijt gebruikt. De tekening was te klein voor het krijt. Dus ik heb wel geleerd dat als ik met pastelkrijt wil tekenen, moet ik een veel groter (ingres) papier pakken.
