Miller, A 

I selected this work for my portfolio because I wanted to show case my talents and ideas. These pieces of art work were chosen because I love roses and they are one of nature’s most beautiful and fragile flowers. The roses that I drew are simple yet original in their design. All the pictures that I drew have some kind of meaning to me. I choose to do a theme of roses because my grandfather always brought me roses, and when he passed away his casket was covered in roses. These pieces are my way of honoring my grandfather’s memory. I am hoping that people will like my work, but find it interesting enough to take a second look at it. The roses in my eight pieces are each combined with an element that you wouldn’t normally see with roses. One of my pieces is roses with spider webs in the back. The colors that I chose complement each other because they are all primary colors. The fact that the spider web is blue and the roses are red and yellow shows you that three primary colors do look good together.These pieces play a big role in my life. They are my way of expressing my grief and sorrow in life. Instead of writing about how sad I am, I draw it into my art work. These pieces are my way of immortalizing my late grandfather who passed away the day after my mom’s birthday. It was the hardest thing that my family had to endure. These pieces will be ones that I hope to pass down from generation to generation, in hopes that my children will find some way to express their sorrows like I did. Theses eight pieces are my favorites and I hope that people feel the same way about them too. ||
