A painting of the backside of a dark figure in the foreground looking out a bright kitchen window in the background. The light is coming through the translucent curtains around the window. There is a kitchen sink filled with dishes. The dishes and counter reflect the bright natural light. The shadows are pure black while the light is shades of white, gray, and yellow.

The concept for this painting was to capture a dark figure by means of value and limited color palette. We were limited to use one primary color, so I used shades of yellow to represent the scene because it gives a warm and earthy mood to the painting and portrays my personal feelings toward the space. The image is a recreation of a photo I took of myself in front of my kitchen window.

A painting of the profile of two dogs. A small darkly colored Boston Terrier looks toward the viewer in the foreground while a large Yellow Labrador Retriever in the background widely smiles off to the right. They are closely laying alongside each other on a soft dog bed. The painting is a variety of bright colors. The small Boston Terrier ISpainted with shades of cold blue, black, and dark purple. The big Yellow Labrador is painted with warm yellow, light blues, and warm purples.
