I decide to paint this picture because first of all, there are only a few left. I look over the table and see people try to pick the easy one in order to finish it as soon as possible, so I want to do the same thing as them. However, I have a strong feeling that I cannot paint anything if I don’t like them. This picture is kind of complicated, but it makes me want to choose it. The artwork below is my final result of spending two weeks playing with acrylic.

            This picture is not a realistic one. It reminds me of a talented artist Picasso, who loves drawing these styles. However, I cannot how to find the name and the artist for this specific painting. In my imagination, I see two people in this work. At first I think there is a woman and a man hugging each other, but then after I color them, I feel there are two women. The reason is they both have long hair. The woman in the left is more obvious due to her body curve. The person in the right I feel like she also has long hair and is wearing a scarf over her head. That is why it seems like two women in this work to me.

            The artist uses many elements of art to create this picture. I can see lines, shapes everywhere but I’m not sure about the color because I receive a black and white photo. The whole picture is covered by most of straight lines. The shapes are viewed clearly as the circles and triangles to reflect the images of people. There is asymmetrical balance because each person stands on each half of the paper.

            I think this artwork is about two people are trying to be closer to each other. There seems to be an invisible wall separates them away. And by their strong emotions, they want to reach and hug their friend, maybe their lover. I don’t know the title of this painting so I cannot say whether it fits or not. Imaging that I can climb inside, I will feel myself very tiny. These lines and shapes might hurt me due to its pieces. It looks like it will swallow me by its attraction.

             This is an unrealistic style if drawing so I don’t expect other people will see the way I see it, just like the artist of this picture knows for sure that nobody will have an exact idea with his/her feeling. They might see in this work is a normal happy couple. They might feel there is a mother playing with her child. Or they might imagine a marriage is happening in an aisle. Well, if I owned this picture, I would fame it and hang it up to my favorite area in my house. This would be a treasure to me because it’s drawing by a very talent artist. I will remember this picture because of it various ways to feel it. It leads people to a lesson of looking at an event from different sides and understand it, then each of us will have separated idea to solve a problem. It also help push the imagination and creativity of people.

            I spend two weeks to finish this artwork. I feel so proud of myself from doing something which I think is huge. It takes me a lot of time and patience but I receive interesting and passionate. It is a little secret that I don’t use pencil at all for this picture. All I did is keep painting in different layers to color it. That is why some tiny details are simplified. I love painting like this more and more in class later, and I prefer knowing the title and the artist of the work.
