Day 1

Today I was really inspired.  I'm going to do something with art every day for one year.  It can be a quick sketch, a painting, a photograph, a craft, or anything artsy.  It will also count if I finish a previously started project.  My goal is to get more creative, improve my skills, and appreciate art even more.

I tried recreating an old photograph with the same person.  This is how it turned out:

I love seeing the differences and similarities as the person ages.  In the future, if I do this again, I'd like to try to be more detailed with the pose, and even attempt to recreate the clothing and background.  I really liked how I was able to incorporate the original photograph in the recreation.  I'd like to try to do that again as well.  I'd have to be selective with the original photograph, trying to find ones that have a picture frame in it, something on the wall, a piece of paper, coloring book, or anything that I can substitute the photo in for.
