The artwork I have chosen to respond to is "Gale." by [Arthur Dove]
I have chosen this work because Arthur Dove was one of
the first to do absract art. He enjoyed doing nature scenes, but he always
wanted to do something more. He wanted to add a deeper sense of feeling to
his art. He wanted to set a mood that would leave an image in someones head.
With Gale he left an impression that inspired me to try doing the same by
making a picture that will stick with a person.
I have chosen to respond to this work by redoing his picture
even though I knew I could never. To do this I watercolored as close to the
original as I could, but with a few differances.
