 How  to  Recognize  His  Work  
       If  I  were  to  go  to  a  garage  sale  and  realize  one  of  Edward  Hoppers  
painKngs  were  for  sale  I  would  know  it  was  his  because  in  his  painKngs  he  
always  expresses  tension  between  people  in  his  painKngs  they  are  dark,  
depth  and  are  usually  of  architecture.  Most  of  if  not  all  of  his  art  work  is  
also  made  with  water  colors.

 Why  I  Chose  Him  
   I  chose  Edward  Hopper  as  my  ArKst  because  I  am  fascinated  by  his  
realisKc  art  work.  I  would  love  to  be  able  to  paint  realism  painKngs  and  to  
show  the  emoKons  within  them.
