i downloaded the trial version of photoshop elements. its really awesome. im gonna buy it. i decided to fool around with it a bit, and I REALLY like this piece of art. It actually took quite awhile and the ideas involved are completely my origanal ones. Please rate this from 1-10; 10 being the highest. I'll put my own artist statement in a different post. [An artist statement is like a paper on my origanal piece. I know I'm talking like a person whos trying to be so smart, but I go to a magnet art school, so it is kind of...stuck in me XD]

My art piece is based mostly on my outlook of Fall. The tree is a simple maple tree, yet it stands out so much in the center. The layout is like that of many other pieces, but none that I have seen have the sweet over lap of leaves. The grass I made golden instead of a brownish green, simply because of the fact that gold is a very attractive color, and flows more with the other colors. The brown trunk has a very soft feeling to it, something I added with the level of opacity. The title,"Fall Dreams of Bliss" is something I added for personal reasons. See, soft grass, no matter what color, has always represented "bliss". This is something I've thought about for several years, and something I've included in many different pieces. The softness of the grass added with the beautiful shadowing under the tree simply gives a complete softened effect.
The perspective of this piece is probably only me, or anyone who appreciates nature as much as I do. Fall just happens to be my favorite season :3. I think if I'd done it any differently, it definatly wouldn't have the same feel. Especially the leaves covering the picture, though you cannot see them well, the piece wouldn't be the same without them. I might make a winter piece as well, possibly spring and summer, but for now this is fun to look at.
Thanks for listening :3
