I made both of these pieces while trying out different techniques. I really like the way colors look when they sit on top of each other, as you can see. In the second painting, I don't have anything painted on top of it, so if you have any ideas it would be nice if you could comment it. All in all, it was nice to take a bit to figure out what I like when it comes to painting.
I was inspired to do this because I thought about how I recycle cans. I had more than enough cans at home, so I created this to represent the importance of recycling, and how reusing things can be useful.
The concept for the eye can very easily to me because I felt that it fit the cubist style well. I used different colored shaped to give it a 3D illusion.
The picture I originally painted from was a pink and brown cake, and I changed the colors to red and yellow because I thought it would be a large contrast from the original colors.
As orange is my favorite color, that was the first this I thought to use when I got this project. I painted a sun to match the feeling of the piece, and it went well with the lines the paint made. I think this piece represents very happy and warm feelings.
