Mixed Medium Lake

I chose this project because I liked that it gave me the freedom to make any kind of artwork that I chose to do and mesh it with other mediums. I decided to make a painting of a mountain lake with a 3D canoe floating in the water. I would hope that my work would give its audience a stress-free relaxing feeling like they were on a summer vacation in the mountains. It really has to do a lot with me too because of how often I go camping in the mountains. This is my first piece that incorporates wood carving and I am really proud that I was able to pull it off. I think that this piece could fit into Philly’s street art scene, at first glance it may not seem like it but it takes elements from artists like Aubrie Costello and Low Level who inspire me with their use of 3D objects in their installs. I hope that this piece can impact the world with driving more people to decide to take up art and I really hope that it does.
