The reason I made this artwork was because I wanted to create a landscape with historical significance. The house is the last surviving structure of the once booming Crow Wing. I also wanted to make this artwork more experimental, trying out new things that I had never done before. My goal for this artwork was to try a slightly abstract and highly experimental artwork that was realistic and captured likelessnes.

With this artwork I want to work especially on catching the likeness of the images I'm using for inspiration.

I also wanted to stretch and explore by experimenting with the look of certain techniques I wanted to try out.
