I have six drawings planned out for this series, and finishing this latest one means I'm officially halfway done!
(If you're interested, you can check out my first 19"x25" bouquet drawing - "Race Bouquet" - at this blog post. Or the second one - "Gender Bouquet" - over here.)
The third colored pencil drawing is called "Sexuality Bouquet," and it uses a rainbow of colors to show the beautiful bouquet that is created when all people identifying as/experiencing different aspects of human sexuality are included equally. I mean for this to include people who have little or no sexual desire and those who crave it all the time, people who yearn for only physical intimacy and those who find fulfillment in emotional intimacy or long-term relationships, people experienced in a wide variety of sexual behaviors and those who are not, and of course people at all places in the LGBTQIA spectrum.
Below are some photos of the completed drawing, along with the 39 Prismacolor pencils I used. The paper is black Canson MiTeintes.
Here's a couple detail shots:
You can really see the difference in vase size looking back at these last three drawings side by side. The bouquets and vases both started getting fatter. I think I'll return to a skinnier vase for my next drawing.
This is not yet available for sale, but I will probably list it (and the others to-come in this series) in my Etsy shop at the end of the year.

To read about the idea behind this colored pencil drawing and an explanation for the symbolism of the specific flowers used, check out this one.
