Digital Painting of a cactus flower from my rooftop garden

About 15 days ago i took a photo of this flower from my rooftop garden. This is the only cactus i have that actually has flowers. The most amazing thing about these flowers are that these bloomed more than 25 days ago, and they still haven't dried or died....

I took this photo to post on appics and today i wanted to do some life drawing so i took some photo of stuffs in the house and then sat down to paint, then i remembered that i have this and so started painting this.

I used a number of different brushes to create variety in the paintings. I learned that human eyes are able to catch repetition and takes it as something boring. So, its important, that when u paint nature you use different brushes to create variety... That's what i did here.

Here are process shots so you can see how i painted the entire thing:
