Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

My goal for this project is to create 12-20 18x24 canvas paintings of the animals that live with us in our world. I want to capture their character through color and gesture. I want their environment to enhance their personality. I want to show that these animals are very much like us, the human us, full of mystique. With a desire to live and enjoy life. Acquisition of paintings, and inclusion in an exhibit. Feedback from arts enthusiasts.

Measurable Outcome(s)

amount of paintings created: 15. amount of painting sold: 15. amount of pieces exhibited: 6. amount of exhibits: 3.
