The first picture at the top, Richter's piece of a snowy landscape came to mind and instantly inspired me and I didn't want to cover too much of this photo with paint and small dots seemed appropriate as they also represented the snow falling on that particular day. I used blue instead of red like in Richter's work because blue is a cold colour; relating back to the weather and feel on that day. I also thought red would be too harsh and would send out a darker vibe. In the second photo down I wanted to capture the weather just as I felt I did with the photo above and so I used a paintbrush as this was also a nice relaxing but hot day which is why I used yellows and oranges, which are warm colours. I did small strokes around the boy to represent how it was so hot you couldn't exert yourself too much. The small wavy lines coming up from the bottom of the picture represent the heat and how on a hot days sometimes you can see the heat on the road in steam.
At the bottom of the page I was inspired my Susie Freeman's work but here, instead of layering the train tickets used in between fabric, I just layered the fabric on top and sewed it onto the tickets themselves. I liked this idea and after using two different fabrics I wouldn't use the red one if I needed to see detail on whatever it was trapping.
