Beautiful

***PLEASE FULL VIEW***

EDIT: I took a photo since my scanner lost some of the colors and details. Here it is. The colors in this are closer to the original piece.

Gashglshgahsdh. Scanner killed the colors and made it all look washed out. I swear I shaded her dress and there's more blue that fades to white at the top (there are also green leaves on the tree branches on her dress), but they disappeared in the scan. Anyway, this is a woman in an ao dai, which is a traditional Vietnamese dress. My family is part Chinese and part Vietnamese, so the Chinese characters in the corner read "beautiful"! Because my mom is beautiful inside and out! Those are pink water lilies, because my mom's English name is "Lily." Happy Birthday, Mom.
