ive returned....with an illo....blue....

so when i saw the topic of blue i was all excited!! finally a topic that suited this piece perfectly to where i could share it with all of you. this is another one i did back in high school but one that i love sooo much! (youre probably thinking, hmmm how does this differ from any other pieces that shes done....doesnt she love all of them sooo much). but unlike the others, this one doesnt really have any personal meaning behind it, but it does have a quick story. we were to find a picture from a magazine and identify and outline all the different shades, whether it be light or dark. then only using one color, would make a few different shades to use to match the picture to where if you looked at it from a distance, you could still recognize the photo. well i saw this add for Hard Candy and had to use it, for all of you guys its a makeup line. anyways, i worked really hard on it and was so pleased with the outcome that i did another one that maybe ill share with you some other time. the size of this one is another reason why i like it so much. the original is about 24' x 36' and is on a black piece of matting that i decided to crop out of the picture. my art teacher loved it and wanted to put it in the art show. it hung there along with a few other pieces that my teacher had picked of mine to be in the show. eventhough my art didnt win any ribbons or trophies, it still was a great feeling to walk into a crowded room and see my artwork hanging on the wall and to see that people were actually enjoying it. so here it is. enjoy.
