This was a struggle to finish. I was not having a good time with it and I found it hard to muster energy to even think about it. However, I do like the end result. I chose my colors totally at random and I think it adds to Hundertwasser's style. The buildings on the top and bottom are my favorite part of the piece, because I feel like it adds a general chaos that the piece was lacking before. The dudes on the sides were a super last minute decision , and I also think the add a lot to the piece. The faces in the windows were less Hundertwasser and more Picasso-esque, but they're my personal style and I think it sets me apart from other Hundertwasser paintings. The eyes as a motif are also an interesting part of the piece. Overall, i would not attempt another piece like this, but I'm glad I have one, although this was a good test of my abstraction skills.
This piece was kinda a struggle, especially the pine needles in the foreground. The issue was how to make it look like needles and not lose the tree trunk on the left, which has a similar texture. I combatted this by using varied colors in the needles, but I don't know how effective it was. I also had a hard time going in with darks to create depth, but a push from Mrs. Rossi made me let go a little, and I'm happy with the way the folds in the mushroom and the base of the trunk look because of the dark purples I used. My favorite part was the background with all the yellows and greens that contrasts the reds and purples in the needles.
