Description
The idea for this piece came from an actual statue in the Versailles palace gardens which I found funny because it looked a little like she was looking at a smartphone.You can see the original statue here:Β bit.ly/2t4Orh9
I went to high school in Versailles, so you could think that it's autobiographical but I actually did not have a phone back then, neither did I hang out in the palace gardens.
Also... pigeons!
Can you find all 14 of them? (solution is here:Β The Great Pigeon Zoom )
This is also my final assignment for the self-taught composition class taught by NathanFowkesArt at schoolism.com

I bumped here for llamas, I swear, but this deviation pinned on your dA page picked immediately my attention. It is the perfect representation of how our young brains are washed: you are near a great piece of art, a majestic statue, and you still looking at your damn phone! It makes me feel sad. You depicted perfectly this situation, thanks for sharing with us your art.

What a wonderful idea! The composition is well thought and funny and the lighting is great. I love the upper bit of the hedge where you painted with the fresh green.
(and I missed one pigeon

Thank you very much!
Backlit leaves are always a pretty piece of eye-candy. I used the hedge just outside my window as a reference
Sneaky pigeons!

L'idée est super sympa, il m'a fallu un petit moment pour voir le parallèle!!!

Aha! J'ai fait de mon mieux pour que Γ§a soit aussi visible que possible tout en ayant l'air naturel.
Mais en mΓͺme temps je pense que c'est plus sympa pour le public si il cherche un peu et trouve tout seul.

What makes it even more funny is that you're the second person in two days to do me the "wait... wasn't I already watching you?" routine.

That made me chuckle.
So you'd been coming back to my page without being notified? I'm quite flattered.

Nice skills you've got there. The light looks great. The triangular threes in front of the hedge could have had a little more contrast, but thats a minor observation. The boy looks very much like a child, especially bodylanguage- wise, which is cool, since very often ids look like smaller adults in pictures, rarely their age. Good job!

Art imitating life imitating art. It does look like the statue could be holding a smart phone!Β
