oil on canvas


this was a painting assignment. the instructor asked us to make a collage
or mixed media work for our first assignment. when we brought them to class,
he instructed us to recreate them with paint, on canvas. "trompe l'oeil"
is french for "fool the eye" -- the idea is that when you look at this painting,
you're supposed to think it's a collage, rather than a painting. definitely an
interesting challenge; something i wouldn't have attempted otherwise.
