Art vs. Art IV (For me) 
11:02-2:50'ish  August 29, 2015  
This was my fourth time at Art vs. Art in Indianapolis.  It is a really fun experience, though stressful somehow.  I don't mind the deadline of four hours to finish an artwork, but somehow I mind people watching me paint.  I prefer to paint in solitude.  

The subject matter for this painting was hastily decided on the hour before I painted it.  I wanted to try to paint one of the pictures that I took in Paris.  I was drawn to the depth of field in this image.  The flowers are the only thing in focus because of the shutter speed and aperture that I set on the camera.  LOW aperture numbers = large opening letting in lots of light = amazing depth of field.  The palace with a sordid history in the background helps too!

Sold to a gracious patron that saved it from the chainsaw.  Thank you kind mystery person.
