I hear the wind blowing through the trees. I smell the mustiness of the fog and air around me. I need a jacket to keep warm. I am going to the mountains to paint. I feel relaxed. I want to make it home before dark. Dear Bridget, I am writing to you from Japan, the Meiji Era. It is stunning here despite the fog covering the tops of the mountains. It is very relaxing and there arent too many people here, I think you would like it a lot. Next time you have to come! Sincerely, Abby At the Museum of Fine Arts we saw different types of art that ranged from modern to ancient and landscapes to portfolios. These were 2 of my favorites that were very different. The first one was a bunch of what looked to be glass bottles in a box made out of mirrors. When you looked inside it looked like they go on forever. The painting beneath it took up the whole wall that it was on. I really liked how it was the center of attention and it was very hard to miss.

This is my landscape painting. The picture I based this off of was taken in Hog Island in July. I chose to do it in acrylic because I need bright colors and water color wouldn't be able to bring out the bright pinkish yellow in the sunset. The most challenging thing for me, was bringing the dark colors into the light colors. It was difficult to make them look natural. I decided to do the silhouettes in white to emphasize the people against all of the colors.
This is my illuminated letter. I made my letter simple and blocky, since we had only been doing calligraphy for a day, this was the only thing I knew would come out nicely. After this I just started drawing designs and things that would look good around it. I also added a sun because I like sunny days, and sunsets. That's where I came up with the background colors. I used blue, purple and a pinkish orange to make a sunset effect in the background. Inside the A I decided to continue with the designs. I went around the A and did the same designs in all the corners and continued that. Then, I added in some gold to give the A more of a pop.
