This painting is a still life I painted in acrylic. I chose blues and purples for the background to complement the oranges and yellows in the pumpkins. I practiced painting clouds a lot over the summer so I was happy to put them into action for the background. I am pleased with the amount of shadows and highlights I was able to achieve on the pumpkins and squash. This was a successful exercise in acrylic painting and I hope to get better in the future.

This painting's focus was on blending acrylic paint smoothly to create an ombré effect. The tree silhouette adds interest. This is one of my favorite ways to teach blending colors. I like the painting but I wish I had a more creative subject. This this year I plan on coming up with something better.

This is not one of my favorite pieces. I think the colors are kind of weird together and not very pleasing to the eye. I also think my swooping tentacle shapes are not very interesting. Maybe if I planned it out better first and decided on a focal point I would be happier with it.

This acrylic painting is one of my better pieces from this summer. I really enjoyed painting clouds and practicing with different brushes. I like the yellow background blending with the oranges and pinks. I used no black in this painting and I challenged myself to an unusual color scheme. I hope to do more of these and experiment with different color schemes. I also would like to create more depth in future cloud paintings.
