The piece I beleive really reflects myself as an artist was my painting. I feel as though this displayed myself as an artist because everybody has different painting techniques and mine were able to be shown through this piece of artwork. Also, the photo I based my painting on was taken on a trip with family and friends in Maine and so when I see this painting it reminds me of how much fun that trip was. Also, even though this painting was based on a photograph I did modify it a bit. I decided to use a bit darker values and didn't make it quite as bright as it actually was in the photograph. I prefer the way that looks rather than such bright colors and I like how that displayed my personal preference in my piece of art. I changed up a bit of the scenery as well in order to create a better composition and have the painting look how I wanted it to look. All in all, I liked how I was able to link a memory to a piece of artwork and paint what I preferred in order to better express myself as an artist.
