This piece is about the song Somewhere Only We Know by Keane. The song is about how going to place, whether it be an actual place or just with another person, where you feel safe and alone. I wanted to create a type of realistic dream world, somewhere you can escape to. I did palette knife for this piece because I needed to get pieces done faster, and that medium is fast for me, plus it was going to be a landscape. I wanted to add some sort of media element to it so I included a quote by Rohl Dahl in the middle. Some successes I had with this piece is the colors. I wanted the sky to not just be plain blue, so I made it teal with some green and purple in it to give it a not so realistic color. Some things that I had trouble with was mixing the colors in the tree. I did the tree black first, so it was hard to go back and mix other colors in. I had to let it dry for a few days before adding red and purple to it, and even then I had to add brighter colors than I would have thought for. If I were to go back to this piece, I would add some more details in the hills on the side. o
