Artist's Comments

This is my prized possession. As an artist I've always considered myself a painter (though i have only completed a handful). This is my favorite. Out of all my art this is the piece i am most proud of.

I conceived this idea from looking into a puddle one day. I then painted the puddle in the shape of West Lake Okoboji, where i grew up.

acrylic on canvas 2'x3'
Aprox. 50 hrs.

edit: 7-18-09, photoshopped reflection background to keep the eye movement in the frame

nice piece! I like how neither side of the self is completed.. could just be the perspective, but it's a cool concept

honestly it had never crossed my mind until now. my left hand held the camera for the reference shot and i just never added it in.. though that missing appendage has always bothered me, i think i'll stick with your concept to describe the piece. thanks for looking
:iconpoleson:
thank you for your time

For me it's common sense, for most it's incompetence.
