Shirley Trevena Wannabe

I almost forgot to post this (again, another dark photo because I normally photograph outside). This picture was created a few weeks ago when I got together with Linda Young to watch a video of Shirley Trevena explaining some of her processes for her watercolors. I really like Shirley Trevena's style and had just recently discovered her. Linda and I set out to create a picture "Trevena style". Only two of the objects in this picture were actually in front of me. The rest was made up or taken from pictures I found online. Part of this style involves treating the background as important as the objects in the picture. She also tapes off areas to paint in sections. It was harder than I thought to think this way, but fun to try.
