Leah's Art Work

"Vana"         I decided on this painting because my dog, Vana, is my best friend. She always reminds me how happy life can be and the fact she has an under bite is even cuter.I think that Vana's face has many values. From reds, tans, and browns, to pink and gray. The back ground is probably my favorite because it reminds me of clouds and how fluffy they are. It is a blanket that shit laying on that I used in preschool. My favorite part about this painting is her eyes and how alive they actually look.

"Fall Leaves"         I chose to do this painting not only because it was required for a class but because my favorite season is fall and I really enjoy experimenting with watercolor. I really like the way the salt gave the back ground a rustic look and it copes well with the dark colors. I think that my painting is carved out very well and the use of the colors has great unity.
