Birdflowers:Chrysanthemum-Nov.

The birdflower for November; Chrysanthemum. Mums are wonderful little flowers that come in every color (except blue, I found out). Chrysanthemum's eyes and tail stones are citrine, as it is November's birthstone.

I suppose the working title for this would have been something like, "Mum Thief" or "Oh Crap, I Dropped My Flowers, but I Don't Care Since I'm Flying Out of This Swirly Cool Background."

The background is partially due to something weird going on with the illustration board and me fixing it, and partially experimentation with a different style. I got these weird 'scratches' on the board, and it was as if there was wax or something on the board. Where the 'scratches' were, the paint wouldn't soak in. Regardless, I think I was able to save the painting.
