"Blue Lady picking a Flower" The scene I composed has a large, stylised tree taking up a significant portion of the upper middle ground, with branches reaching the top and bottom. The tree's trunk is depicted in brown, appearing slightly out of focus. I painted the woman using various shades of blue. The overall framing is loose, creating a sense of space and a non-detailed backdrop. Elements seem loosely positioned within the image, with the colours and forms working together to suggest the landscape rather than depicting accurate detail. The artistic medium I chose is watercolour, which is noticeable through the fluid, painterly strokes and by using washes of colour. The style of the painting is abstract and expressionistic, with no clear focus on realistic representation. There is no defined perspective or lighting source. The focus is on emotional expression rather than detailed depiction. The colours are mixed and layered with a loose style that adds to the artistic interpretation of the painting. 24x18x0.1cm
"Council of Mushrooms" This is an abstract painting I made. It features a dynamic interplay of colours and shapes, with flowing, expressive brushstrokes creating abstract forms. The key subject is the interplay of colour and form. The shapes looked like mushrooms, so I defined them with a black marker. The colours are bright and vivid, creating a sense of vibrancy and excitement. The background colours are greenish-teal and dark blue, providing a backdrop for the colourful forms. The lighting is implied but not directly presented, focusing on the visual effect of colour contrasts and the dynamic relationships between shapes. 19.5x11x0.1cm
"Yellow Canoe at a Surreal Sunset" I created this vibrant abstract painting, which depicts a small boat on a body of water in a mix of colours and textures. The boat is abstract, with basic lines and shapes. I used a fluid and expressive technique to depict the water, making it look like waves and the sky. The general atmosphere suggests a serene, almost dreamlike quality. The sky is muted, pink, and pastel shades, suggesting an evocative ambience. The overall lighting is soft, and there's a sense of calmness and serenity. The presence of shades of pink, blue, and yellow, mixed and merged, gives the artwork a warm and dreamy feel. 24x30x0.3cm
"Pink Bird-Head Plant" The main subject of my painting is the peculiar plant, with its unique flower-like structures, which look like bird heads, hanging from its branches. These pink, bulbous flowers with hints of green foliage take up a good portion of the canvas. The tree trunk extends downward into a thick root system, spreading across the image's bottom. I depicted its trunk and root system with brown variations, with textures created by the brushstrokes. A small, simplistic house with a small white structure and a red roof is visible in the mid-ground behind the tree. The sky is a deep blue with a small yellow sun near the upper left corner. The hills are textured with dark green tones and dark, stylised brushstrokes that create a textured effect. Given the tree's unusual features and the painting's simplicity, the mood is serene and somewhat whimsical. 30x30x0.3cm
