**//I painted two painting called the Island, and the Sea of Blue. The first “the island” is called that way because it looks like and island with hills and it’s land get darker the higher you go up. The next one is called “the sea of blue” I called that because it is like a sea of different shades of blue. In my painting I used a large piece of white paper and paint. I used green, dark green, light green, blue, dark blue, and light blue paint.//**

**//Mark Rothko and his inspiring painting made me do one his most famous painting called the white over blue. It is like a sea of blue with clouds of the sea. I also was inspired by one of his less famous paintings that made me paint “the island”.//** **//I am glad I picked him because many people could have and do learn from him and his many paintings and drawing of unknown things and how he created images that no one in his time could this such detail and persitinets. //**
