Growing knowledge is an abstract, still life in the medium of acrylic paint. I wanted to show two things that I really like in my painting. I love to read and I love plants. Those are things that are very important to me. I thought I  could also show the growth of knowledge and its importance.  The large plant growing going everywhere shows the growth and the knowledge is in the books. I tried to show realistic leaves. So I added shading and layers of colors. I chose to add titles to two of my books with my two favorite books. Shout by Laurie Halse Anderson, and Into the wild by Jon Krakauer. I also showed a theme in the painting of green, my favorite color.
