Reflection

I do think I was able to capture my experience of Cape Cod Afternoon. It primarily provoked memories in of the childhood summers at my grandparents house, and I was able to depict how the direct painting resembled those memories. However, I wish I had been able to do more. The house doesn't exactly resemble my grandparents (their's is only one-story) so I wish I'd been able to cut it down to that level. I'm also curious as to how well I would have been able to integrate a picture of my grandparents house with the painting, to show how the one inspires the other in my mind. And with my original idea, I wonder me directly mimicking Hopper's style but using their house as a model would have turned out. These ideas probably would've required more time and experience with photoshop, however.
