Transparency

I really enjoyed doing this painting. I think the bright orbs of light were easy to separate into sections and look realistic.
The artist I found for transparency is named Grazyna Lelito. I liked how you can tell they are bottles but all the colors make it look abstract and realistic at the same time. I also like how it you can look at each individual color but it also looks like a bunch of different random colors.

Winter Tree, Winter Sky

I took this picture at a park. I simplified it a lot because I thought the focus on the tree was more important. The sky was very blue with no clouds. The process was quick because I started with a much bigger canvas then switched to this small one because I was overwhelmed. Overall I am pleased with this painting.

Lost Eye

This is a picture of my sister and my cat. I chose this for a lost eye portrait because my sister's eye is fading into the darkness behind her because I aimed the light at her face while taking the photo. I also like the shadow on the cat's fur, it gives a glossy feeling. The process was quick because I used pencil but it was hard getting a difference in value with the pencil.
