My painting for today is "Drowning Girl" by Roy Lichtenstein. It was made in 1963, with oil and polymer paint on canvas. He had used DC Comics' "Run for Love!" for the source for this image. I like the overall feel of the painting, since blue is usually thought of as a calming color and this is clearly a woman in need of help. I also like how this painting has the really harsh blacks and thick lines, created with Benday Dots (Created manually). These were similar to the effects of pointilism because of the usage of little dots of color. This helps the harsh message of the woman saying she'd risk anything rather that ask for help from "Brad".
