Lilly Lampe "The Flower"
Medium/Small, Realism, 2025
My idea was to create a flower. I origanlly was debating on adding my sisters hand but did anyways. My sister inspired me to do this painting. She is known to take pictures of random things.
I used paints and brushes to create this artwork.
The thing I struggled with most was getting the right shade of tan for the hand. I kept trying till I got close enough to the origanal color. I would change the shading to look for realistic.
This is an atempt of realistic painting. This is unique to me because if has a family meaning to it. I love the painting because my sister helped me pick it out.
Lilly Lampe "The Mirroring Effect"
Medium, Surreal, 2025
My idea was to create a dream I once had. It was of this forest. THis forest had two sides, the safe side and the dark side.
I gathered drawings and sketches of this dream and started to paint. I had to get the colors correct first. Then find the right paintbrush to use.
This artwork represents an effect called "The Mirroring Effect." This means there's a place you distinctly remember. You dream of the place first, then again. The second time you witness this, the place should look similar but have its differences.
The most challenging thing for me was to get the image right. I overcame this by trying different angles and positions.
The style of this artwork is surreal. This is unique to me because it means a lot to me. This place is the spot me and my grandpa used to walk when we would get bored.
