I think the one with the brick building will look beautiful....it adds a bit of colour and texture to the ice storm..

Or maybe the second pic of a close up of the tree with the limbs dark and eerie.reaching out....it will look beautiful too.

bi...my favorite one is the 4th one with all the trees. But the one 2nd one brr..really says it cold and winter time...no green showing anywhere, the ice on the branches almost look like glass. If I were so fortunate to do a landscape...I can't choose because they are so pretty. Sorry I'm no help...they are all so nice in one way or the other. Good luck

Bi-Number three hands down because of all the intersesting textures, perspective, colors, etc. Short time to do the work though by Friday??? Maybe not with all the perspective unless you work really fast! Do you have to do the whole photo or could you use just the center part, cropped?

EDIT: Bi, I should have said, "For me, number three hands down", because for each viewer, each photograph will offer something different.

I don't have to have it done, he doesn't expect us to have it done, he just wants us to have some of it done, so I want to get as much done as I can.

Bi, you could even do either 2/3rds of right or 2/3rds of left and still keep it an interesting piece. For me the others would be too much of a challenge but having seen some of your work, I would say, take your choice and go for it. You have a lot of talent. Be sure and keep us posted!

Bi, what medium will you be working in?

BiWiccanAndProud

Medium? Do you mean what I'm painting on or the paint? If it's either one of those I'll be using acrylics and it's on canvas. I want to do two or three... they are the two I really like but with two I'm not sure how well I could paint the close up ice and with three I'm not sure how well I would do with the colors. I've never painted ice before so this is a bit of an experiment for me. Anyone have any clue how I could do this? My art teacher said it would be really challanging but I'm not sure even HE has ever painted ice so I doubt I'll get much help from him.

Yes, I was meaning acrylic, oil, watercolor, pastel, etc. Do you know how to float color? I have never painted ice liike is in your picture but I think floating would be a technique that might be of use. It would be similar to painting a dew drop on a rose or a tear drop on a face but I would htink more opaque. I am anxious to see your work on these.

I just started floating color a few years ago. I don't always use the technique but it works well on some projects. It is more of a tole painters technique but whatever works, right?

From my perspective, number three is the most interesting and worthwhile to do in terms of doing it in some sort of hands-on type of medium. But, in order to paint it, that is a lot of detail that needs to be worked out. Numbers one or two would seem to be easier to do as far as painting. Just my opinion.

BiWiccanAndProud

I know what your talking about but I'm not sure I could do it. How do you do it? Is it down in layers? Do you have to water down the colors significantly so as not to lose the color underneigth the ice?

I was thinking about two clough but I'm not sure I could paint the ice up close like that. As said I've never painted ice... snow yes, but ice no.
