Mya Petersen, "Flight", 9 x 12, acrylic on paper, 2019
I got this idea because I love butterflies and think paintings of them are very pretty. Butterflies have always been special to me because when I was a kid we would take care of the caterpillars to protect them from the birds and release them as butterflies. If I were to start over, I would correct the angle of the big butterfly to make it even. I love the colors and the little butterflies in the back.
Mya Petersen, "Spring", 9 x 12, acrylic on paper, 2019
I decided to do this painting because I like the picture it is based on. The painting and picture do not look the same, but individually, I like both. This picture was taken in the park area by my lake house where there are several trees. If I could start over I would take more time on the background. I like the pink . tree because it turned out very pretty and pink is my favorite color.
Mya Petersen, "Desert Sunset", 12 x 18, acrylic on paper, 2019
I got the idea for this painting when I was mixing colors and made the color that is the sky. I like cacti and photos of deserts because they look very cool. If i started over I would change the cacti and add more plants and either do better shadows or not do them. I like the color scheme of this painting with the green and pink.
Mya Petersen, "Harvest Evening", 9 x 12, acrylic on paper, 2019
I did this picture because I have wanted to do a painting of this picture. I took this picture a long time ago but I love landscape paintings. If I could start over I would change a lot because I don't like how everything turned out. I like the glowing halo around the sun and the yellow.
