**//My painting is called clouds over the sea the reason I picked clouds over the sea is because it looks like a giant cloud over the sea with a big dark shadow and I couldn’t think of any other names but I still liked the one I picked. In my artwork I used paint toad color to the blank canvas. I used blue, black, and white.//**

**//I was looking at pictures of art and that one caught my eye so I looked up his name and I liked the way he painted. I wanted to try to re create the picture I saw because it had colors in it I liked and it made me feel relaxed. I wanted people to look at it and feel relaxed. I enjoyed working on it because I didnt need to have straight lines but I did have to put the correct shape.//**

**//I am satisfied with my choice of art I don’t like complex art but not to easy. Im glad I picked Rothko because people can learn from him and his various paintings.//**
