Vase with Flowers Still Life

I wanted to just have some fun playing with my new Golden acrylic surface texture set - a birthday present -  and acrylic paste. Just out of my head no effort to make anything look like anything exactly or even closely. Although the flowers may resemble specific types, I really just made them up. I like the idea of the cracked vase surface. There is some symbolism there - not intentional. Partway through I decided the flowers were too plastic and the whole effect was too much like bad motel room art. I did some more texture layers and shading. Finally I felt the image gelled just right.
