The name of my artist is Michael Craig Martin, and mainly uses different colours, and digital photography on his work. My favourite piece of work from Michael is probably the newest one which is the watch, he has uses Acrylic on Aluminium.
What I can see?
In this picture you can see lots of bright colours, the main bit of this unusual looking football boot is a bright pink, on the bottom of the shoe the studs is blue, the top part of the shoe (the laces) are a bright green. And finally the inside of the shoe is red. In the background is a bright blue colour.
Feelings and mood
The colours on this shoe are bright, therefore it makes me feel happy, and it also reminds me of something from a cartoon with the colours and the outlines. Lastly the fact that I like Football sort of drew me towards this image.
I chose this image because I like the colours, but I also really like football, it reminds me how much I enjoy playing football.
Composition
The focal point of this image is the colours that it shows because they are really bright, and it just draws your attention.
