Artist Statement

When doing this project I learned a lot of things in the process. I learned my vision for my work wasn’t that far off but I wanted my shading to be a lot better. I achieved most of what I wanted despite messing up some of it. I think most of the people who see my painting will just see a rose. My rose reflects things in my daily life because it’s a flower and flowers are in nature. I did a rough draft of my picture first, I created a rough draft and a final copy on canvas and I painted it. My work fits in with contemporary art because Morris’ painting “Fruit in the blue bowl” he used a lot of the same colors that I used like red blue and purple. We both also created simple pictures. I think by working on this project I made comparisons with the modern day artwork and that I have really high expectations for myself when I paint/draw/etc.
