The Last Night

This was a painting that I started on the last night I spent on St.John Island. Although I only started it there the picture was clear inside my head...also I took some snapshots of it. I feel that it came out to my liking. I was really into the color pallet for the painting, plus the contrast, shapes and composition were pretty awesome as well. As for the picture above. I took a photo of someone standing and implemented a painterly style over the top of the image. I feel that it adds a life to the painting that isnt there on the first one, even-though I like the first one more.
