My brother is also a lover of art. He is by far my superior in skill, creativity, and sense of humor; he just rarely actually does it. His ceramics and cartoons blow me out of the water and he barely even tries. So when I didn't get a birthday present done in time I knew I had to bring my A game for christmas. I am a fast worker, but I started this months in advance and still didn't finish it quite in time for christmas.
Without further ado, here is the painting that acted as my inspiration:
I tried to pick a painting that I could simplify to a few colors and more simplistic shapes. I wanted it to be recognizable. So I ended up with this lovely painting of a wheat field with cypresses. I printed it out and broke it up into color shapes. Basically a color-by-number kind of deal.
