This is a drawing I did in painting class. I call it a drawing, the teacher calls it a painting. This was made from these weird little things called "water color pencils", in which you draw with a color pencil and then paint over it with a wet brush so that it looks slightly different in the end. I don't know why we did something like this in painting. It doesn't even use any skills used in painting.
The theme that we were drawing to was Georgia O'Keefe. She's known for her flowers, but I got the teacher on a technicality that Georgia also did paintings of bones, thus I could go about doing something interesting, like this. I'm much more accustomed to drawing facial portraits, and this worked enough as one.
Okay, I'll be the first to admit, the blue in the background was an eyesore. What was I thinking? It seemed like a good idea at the time, but now...I really should have gone with brown around the corners.
By the way, here's what the picture looked like before it was watered over.
Your Honor,
