I wanted to continue painting 20th century film/hollywood icons after my last project, and I wanted to convey the nostalgia of watching these old movies through the style and content of the paintings

For this still life, I wanted for the focus to be on the objects in the foreground, and I used more vibrant colors to make them stand out. I added a few other objects like the ceramic pitcher and the playing cards to make the drawing more interesting and fill the space, but they weren't the focal point of the still life.

Statement: In this painting, I wanted to represent a path to somewhere better, showing a path going from a dark foreground to a lighter background. I decided to make the colors brighter and the overall painting less of a realistic style than my original design, as it is more out of my comfort zone.

I wanted to practice painting people, and this piece is a bridge into painting more people and different subjects with acrylics.

I chose the painting, American Gothic, by Grant Wood and wanted to both learn more technical skills like painting the fire and the people and bring awareness to climate change and the California wildfires. I wanted the figures in the foreground to be standing almost passively while their house burns down in the background, showing how little people are doing to help something that directly affects them and their future. I wanted to use brighter colors to bring attention to the fire in the background and keep the figures almost the same as the original painting.

Her life and death both interest and scare me a little, and I wanted to kind of convey that in my painting
