For this project I had to take an existing masters painting a tweak it to have my own message. I picked the painting The Lovers by Magritte, but...made both of the lovers guys. I know the one on the left still looks feminine, but oh well. I was trying to get across how homosexuals have to have their relationships in secret and maybe we don't even know what they're like when we look at them, because society discriminates them so much.

This won Honorable Mention in the Painting category at my high school art show.
