Artist's Statement:
This image, entitled "Classic St. Patrick's Day," which is a combination of a selfie, a picture from my lake cottage where I went this past weekend, and two animals (a horse and a llama) from a Saint Patrick's Day party that I went to. The first layer is very self explanatory; it's a selfie I took. The background of that selfie is my lake cottage on Lake Michigan in Holland. I've been going there since I was barely a year old, and I have a lot of fond memories of being there with friends and family. We go there a lot, and usually invite different people every time we go. The next two layers are of animals from a St. Patrick's Day party that I went to. Our neighbors go all out and rent a bouncy house, and have many animals, including the horse and the llama. We have been going to their party for many years now, and it is always something that I look forward to every year. There isn't any specific effects I used in photoshop besides the eraser, magic wand, and the opacity of different layers.

Final Artists Statement:
When I first started using photoshop I had no idea how to use it at all and what kind of things I would create and make on this program. I took weird pictures for my first selfie and five images that I would put on top, and my editing skills weren't the greatest. I had a llama and a horse with a person and a sunset. Those things don't go together, and also the way that they are all put together doesn't work well. For the double exposure you can see how much better I am then when I started. There is a person with the sunset again, but it still is better.
