Eventide’s Majesty
Darian Hawke
The fall 2014 quarter was my first opportunity to take
an art class since elementary school. While I'd always been
attracted to creating art, I'd never done it out of fear of failure.
By enrolling in Beginning Painting, I challenged myself to step
outside of my comfort zone. Our first assignment was to paint
an impressionist or post-impressionist's work between 1870
and 1910. After finishing that and looking for another piece to
paint while the rest of the class finished their first project, I
started right in on this piece by Alexander Dzigurski, noted as
a post-impressionist, who painted it in 1943.
