Artist's Comments

This is ALSO a college project I had to do. We had to take the painting of a great master and imitate it's tone/feeling/lighting in a photograph. Degas is my favourite painter so I chose him. It's darker than the original and of course it's not perfect, but I LOVE IT. Love it love it love.

The original painting is called Melancholy and can be found here...

-She endured and actively participated in 2 hours of messy bedroom, lamp moving, bedsheet tossing, thumbtack pushing, shoulder aching, "WhatthehelldidIjustpress" and "Ohdamnit'sBLURRY!", Sweeney Todd/ Les Mis action.
