The painting to the left is my final piece and the painting to the right is my practice piece. In my opinion, they share the same general feeling, though the final piece seems more controlled while the practice was more sporadic. I do like the spontaneity of the first piece, but the practice allowed me to plan for the next piece. I like how in the final piece, I preserved more of the dark under-layer and utilized different textures. My favorite parts of this piece are when you can see all the different layers of paint built up over time and scratched together. It gives the illusion of depth and layers of trees which alludes to my title: Birch Trees.

I'm not sure why Maya's comment wasn't posted here but I am copying it for reference: "I really enjoy the layout in which you add both your thought processes and your slideshow featuring the development of your piece, adding commentary and images as you go. I think this is a really interactive and didactic way in which the viewer can see your thought process and development of your piece. I also think that your use of horizontal and vertical lines turned out to be a very effective element in your composition. I did not know you used string to do that! "
