Getty in Heaven
This was for my PhotoShop class. The source photo is a shot I took from a terrace at the Getty museum, showing the Getty garden & administration building. The assignment was to paint a postcard w/ no photo pixels from the original photo. (Composition & shapes could be followed --but using fill, brushes, etc.)I wanted to create something very modern to convey how the experience of being at the Getty is so modern. I was inspired by Andy Warhol colors and style.
"The Thinker" meets "The Sleeper"

I like this challenge --it's a MONTHLY challenge to draw at museums. I did this a couple of times in college and I remember that it was fun. Just haven't done it in xx years. Yesterday I went to the Cantor Center for Visual Arts at Stanford where they have a great cafe, a lot of Rodins and a preponderance of sunshine for a museum. At the cafe, I saw this man taking a cat nap in the sun.
