==I used this still image and animated it using Keynote.media type="file" key="SPERRY_census_media.m4v" width="300" height="300"== ==SLA CENSUS MOVIEThis art piece is about a fashion show that I pictured in my mind. I chose to do this because I wanted to be really artistic and play around with colors and how would they look if I mixed or combined them together. Detail is a very significant factor because I didn't want it coming off as an amateur like drawing or as if a 3rd grader did it.==

I wanted this to be professional looking and make the viewers feel as though they can picture themselves their at the show. It took a lot of time to paint this on a canvas because when you paint over the pencil sketching, it doesn't really work the first time it, so you have to paint over it a couple of times to get the exact color you want.

Abstract was another important thing for me because I wanted this art piece to stand out and come alive with a more relaxed feeling to it. There are eraser shavings on the runway because I wanted to make it 3D and it sort represents leaves a little bit because it represents autumn and a hint of winter.

What I enjoy most about this painting is that I had the opportunity to explore on color making and painting a realistic art piece that defined the true essence of what artists are looking for in a painting.
