This is a painting of objects of my choosing. We were supposed to choose objects that represented us. I chose the turtle because sometimes I try to put out this hard exterior and act as if I'm strong and/or don't care, but really I'm extremely soft in the sense that I'm very emotional and sentimental. There's a candle on the turtles back because people have often told me I am a ray of sunshine in darkness. I always try to stay positive and shed light on a situation. Also, I have this deep passion to help people. I like to try tone their beacon of light in their time of darkness. There is an open book because I am always eager to gain knowledge and see hinge from other's perspective. In the same sense though, a book will always remain the same in its information, much as regardless of how much new information I obtain I keep my morals about me. The book also symbolizes how I am quite literally an open book. I am extremely straight forward and honest so it's never hard to read me. The vase in the background was just to help add perspective, but it's a nice vase and just as important as the other objects. I worked a lot with hues and shading in this project. It was really hard for me to use the right shades of paint to make the painting look realistic. I typically have a hard time with painting because my hands are really shaky so I can never seem to make a straight line. Please keep that in mind when evaluating this piece. Overall though, I am actually really proud of myself and the finished product because it's by far the best work I have ever done with paint.
