Do you ever meet certain people and you fall in love? My piece reflects the impact my two new friends and starting college have had on me. I love the care my friends have for others, their dedication, their passion, the way they push me to be a better person, and the way they support me. I am forever appreciative. I am forever in love. This painting is based on a photo I took of them in Chicago. I emphasize the importance of their friendship through the white glow that emanates from them. I was able to experiment by employing a variety of textures using different tools, primarily seen in their clothing and shoes. I believe that with experimentation, you have to be okay with what you create not looking the way you intend. Through my experimentation with texture in this piece, I demonstrate one factor of our friendship, not being afraid to be ourselves.
