free as a bird
This painting was just something that was meant to represent happiness with a different sense of feeling besides just happiness because that is just boring. The painting has darker tones that go into the lighter tones. the clouds are big and puffy clouds with some birds flying through them. Birds for me represent freedom for me so that accommodates with the representation of the painting.There are quotes within the painting that i felt i could relate to in different ways or that made me feel happy. This painting was one of my not so good painting so it is a representation of my progress in my paintings.
cloudy summer
This painting is my favorite piece i have painted so far. It shows that when i dedicate myself to step out of my box and try something new i will prove to myself that i actually am capable of doing something great.The painting is called cloudy summer because it is a painting of a blue sky with an assortment of clouds and a cliff with some water colliding into its side. I really had to have a lot of patience with this painting for many reasons. I have never painted water or cliffs or anything near those kinds of things but i did because I needed to try something new,So i also tried painting my clouds with a different technique which made me realize i was doing it all wrong. It took a lot of paint mixing to get the colors i needed for the water and the shadowing of the water collision with the cliff along with the markings on the cliff. Doing the details on the cliff was probably my biggest challenge with this piece but i didn't let myself give up on anything and it turned out amazing in my opinion and it really showed the feeling of peacefulness i was trying to portray.
