It is a bottle of pink lemonade in the car window in northern maine, with a cabin and trees in the background. this work started with the grid, and I outlined everything in graphite before erasing the graphite and using ink and charcoal to show the light and dark parts.

I chose to create this artwork because it was from a good memory in my life and when I was choosing a photo, I came across this one and it reminded me of a good time. I used blending where there was charcoal and line whenever I used ink. I changed the darkness of the lemon and the amount I blended the charcoal.

This project relates to my life because I took it during a family vacation that was fun and this picture brings back good memories to me. I would blend the charcoal and darken the lemon even more if I could change anything.
