 * ==I choose this painting because it looked very real. I choose this art piece because once I looked at the painting it caught my attention and I could already picture myself in it. The steps that I took to blend myself into the painting is that I first cut my self out by using the magnetic lasso and than I dragged myself into the picture and I scaled it to the right size. ==
