I chose this piece because I found Amy Winehouse an amazing artist. She had a hard life and most of her music told a story about it. This painting just spoke to me I guess. The artist of this piece is Joseph Taylor. He is from California and does different painting of other artists as well. Some problems I had with this painting was getting the correct proportional finger width, the hair that is whisking out of the back of her head and the mouth area. These problems were hard to solve, and I tried my best. Although I think they still don't look quite right. I think it is a successful work of art because if you look at the actual picture it looks very similar. Then again, I don't think it's successful because it is very un-proportional in some other areas. All in all I think it is in the middle of being successful and unsuccessful.
