First Painting

This was a painting of a two bags that I took a picture of. It was a pallet knife painting which was extremely challenging. I did not like how it turned out but I did my best it was difficult to do with a pallet knife. 

Porter/ Hopper Post

This is a painting by Porter and I really like how much this picture is simplified. It is extremely simplified but you are still able to understand what the objects are. It's simple but complex in that it would be very complex to try and paint. I would like to use the contrast that is shown in my sketch.
