Nature-
WHEN CHOOSING AN ENDURING IDEA FOR THIS PROJECT, I LOOKED TO
NATURE. SOMETHING AS FAMILIAR AS A SIMPLE PEAR IS A GOOD SUBJECT
MATTER FOR THIS PROJECT. IT'S NOT OVERLY COMPLICATED AND YET IT OFFERS
SUBTLY TEXTURES THAT ARE EASILY RECOGNIZABLE AND ADAPT WELL TO OUR
DIGITALLY PAINTED BRUSHSTROKES.
Examples:
