May 1, on the first day of the national vacation, I got up at 5:30a.m. and went to paint from the nature at 6:30a.m. In the early and fresh morning, I found a group of Chinese Roses by a fence and wanted to paint them. At once I found the problem that I was in the high heel boots, as long as I went near the flowers, the heels into the ground. So that I had to sit down from far away to paint it. Then, since the second day, I have been in the gym shoes for I have to paint from the nature every morning before I enter the classroom. To be honest, I have painted many roses before, but, this is the painting most difficult time for me. Because I did not make a good beginning, and there are only few flowers by the street, so that many times I was thinking of how to fix the structure. Anyway, after going to paint it 9 times, finally, I complete it, even though there are still many problems in it. How do you think of this painting? Do you enjoy it?
