Photorealism Painting

This painting is where you take a photograph and paint the rest of the scene around it. I painted this in December 2009. It is on canvas paper, painted with Acrylic paint and is 16 x 20. I chose this photograph because it is of the Owen Sound Harbor and it was a very cool photograph. I loved how the driftwood looks like it is from the prehistoric times and that is why I painted in prehistoric animals. I wanted to make it different than a regular setting and this just adds to the painting.
