Pond

• My goals and intentions for this piece were to create the indentations in the tree and use colors that you wouldn't normally use.
• I accomplished my goals by looking carefully at how the ridges in the tree were curved.
• I was surprised at how easy it was to. make the tree but at how hard it was to do it in different colors.
• The most difficult challenge was using the purples and seeing all of the greens in the leaves.
• I meet that challenge by breaking down each color of the leaves and by thinking like my role model artist for this painting.
• I experienced the shift from right brain to left by focusing on the colors and shapes of the leaves and grooves in the tree.
• This piece really works with the leaves and tree branches.
• An artist that inspired me was Wolf Kahn because of all of his bright colors and his prospective on landscapes.
• Something I learned going into my next painting is how to look at things through a new prospective.
• If I had a do-over I would add more grooves and detail to the tree.
• I feel that the best things are the branches and leaves.
