Landscapes

This Project was to make to a couple of landscapes. I choose to make my landscapes "family" themed. I did this for a few reasons but one was to show my wife that I'm not completely sick and demented. For the first landscape i choose a picture from Hawaii. it is off a ledge with the Ocean. I have added a bench that is in french lick and then added a picture of a flower that was taken from the house. I made the flowers form a staircase down to a sign that reads "Family one of God's Greatest Masterpieces" In the upper corner i placed another flower and made it look like it was the light source for the picture.

The second picture is of the Chicago Skyline i cut off the bottom of the buildings and the foreground of the picture and added an ocean picture. I then added about four rock formations to act as a transition between the ocean and the buildings. I then used children's blocks to spell out my childrens names and place them on the faces of the sky scrapers. I then linked all the letters of the names and made copies then flipped the copy to look like reflections on the water. I used perspective, skew, distortion to make the reflections look like they were from the moon that i added from a camping trip.
