Lazy Boy

My piece of Abstract art is titled Lazy Boy, because that’s what I am reminded of when I see this sort of relaxed seal like creature. As you may know Lazy Boy is a luxurious chair brand, well-known for selling that irresistibly, comfortable chairs. So comfortable you could become really lazy in it. So, in my picture, that’s exactly what I see, a lazy boy (or seal), of who in a way looks like the chair itself. The tools I used to create my abstract art was first the “free select” tool to create my outline, which I set it on “feathered edges” to give the drawing that blending-in sensation. And then I used the “paint bucket” to fill in my outline with colors. I chose to use analogous colors, the red-orange-yellow branch of colors, with blue as my highlight because a chair should be cozy and warm (hint, hint), so I chose warm colors and blue as my night sky. What inspired this piece of art was a song by Fiest called “Sea lion.” As you can guess it’s about a seal and the song itself is very strange, so I wanted to create a picture that could lead to many explanations. I want my audience to question the emotions of this seal, is it happy? Is it tired, sleepy, lazy, laughing? Those are all correct. I myself find it rather funny looking, it kind of looks like Jell-O, the way it’s so relaxed and sprawled across the art work.
