Hot Cocoa Rose

This is for Still Life Workshop May challenge. It's oil on 6x8 canvas panel.

Besides the Tomatoes on the Vine that I just did, I also did this Hot Cocoa Rose challenge, since the color combination is quite nice in the reference photo. The glass of water gave this challenge extra complexity. I enjoyed the two still life challenges posted on this blog so far (ref), and will definitely try to keep up with the challenge whenever I can.
