For my future self project I wanted to express my goal to travel. I visited London this past february to visit my brother and loved it. Normally you'd feel out of place in a foreign country but it just felt like home. The picture I chose to base my piece off of is a snap I took from Green Park, across from Buckingham palace. At the time I was fascinated that there were daffodils in bloom in such a cold place. I learned that these were the queens flowers and they were also illegal to pick. I though that the park itself was beautiful and the view of the palace through the trees was interesting. For my piece I choose scratch board. I just recently tried this medium for the first time and really enjoyed it. I thought that the metallic silver product from the scratching would give the plants an interesting quality of being shining on a dark surface. I chose not to scratch in the trees because I wanted a negative space on the piece, it made the other plants and palace stick out more as a result.
