Although I completed Week Twelve’s project over a week after it should have been done and with a concept that was not originally mine, I am still happy with the results.

I think the concept of simplicity can be seen in the painting. The idea that when all distractions and colours are removed and what remains is a simple object is something that I think often gets taken for granted. Too often we forget about the basics and get caught up in the bells and whistles of everything we do.

As for the completed of the project itself, well, I eventually got to it, but it took a while. I was having two problems with the project, first was coming up with a concept for the painting itself. Lately my mind has been occupied with everything but creative thoughts and as such I was at a roadblock for an entire week. Second, as I have mentioned before, the simple fact that school has occupied the majority of my time for a 4-week period and as such, has had a real impact on my project completion.

With that said, although I might not like the fact that 100% of this project was not mine, I think some very good work has come from building upon the work of others. Whether or not this work is one of those is up for each individual to decide.
