For my very last piece I wanted to make it something memorable. I had a lot of time on my hands so I took a dive into oil paints once again. This was one of the pictures I took that I knew right away that i wanted recreate. I think it was the red bars that made it for me. I worked pretty quickly on this piece and I was surprised on how far I've come with my speed and quality in not just prismas but oil paints as well. The whole time I was creating each aspect of the photo I wanted to start with the red bars but they were in the foreground so I knew if i wanted my layering to turn out properly I had to be patient. Patience was something I had to relearn and something I forgot about when I chose to do oils. While I waited on specific parts of the painting to dry I touched up other oil painting like Lucy the goose and my very first concentration piece with the "Keep Out" sign. At first I struggled with the ground and creating the appropriate texture but then I used the same blending technique I used in the painting of Lucy and I was very happy with the outcome. I think the blended messy texture is a good contrast between the meticulous repetitive tree leaves. Overall this isn't one of my favorites like I expected but I enjoyed seeing the growth within myself as I created my very last concentration piece.
