Natures Beauty

This picture was done by Nina Martinez; she is a freshman and also my roommate. If I were to give it a title it would be Natures Beauty. That’s kind of corny but whatever. She had to either make a picture or take one for her wellness class. What I like most about the picture is its simplicity and how it seems peaceful. I also like how the leaves on the tree are a relief to the picture. Lastly, I enjoy that its nature colors and that the bark of the tree is made from yarn as well as the detail in the sky and grass. What could have been improved is the sun because it looks so dull and not expressing the bright sky like it was supposed to. Or maybe there could have been lighting and shading done differently to the sky to make it appear like the sun was actually shining. I asked her what her picture meant and she just said she likes art. The background represents her love for the clear sky because she was born in the U.S Virgin Islands and the skies are always blue. The picture I don’t believe was put anywhere in a classroom on campus but it is in our room which is technically on campus. Anyways, instead of making a tree Nina actually wanted to make a palm tree but she thought that was too difficult which is why the bark looks like it was supposed to be one from a palm. I still like the picture anyways. I wish every day I could wake up and have the ability to even make something that looks nice but I am just not skilled in that. I can do sculptures and pottery but drawing and painting just isn’t my thing although I really want it to be. Art is beautiful.
