Ocean sunset was drawn in Microsoft Paint using the mouse as a pencil and my right-hand instead of my left.”
     – Larry Lehman

The artwork was done on a basic computer program which required the use of his non-dominant hand to operate the mouse.  It is a landscape creation of the sun setting in the background of a lively sea.

This piece was chosen because “Ocean Sunset” was created using a more menial type of program, Microsoft Paint.  That in itself is what makes it the piece so intriguing.  The artist creatively portrays rolling waves of the ocean against a backdrop of the sun setting.  Lehman had to meticulously draw the animated colors of a waving sea, along with the reflection of the setting sun on the ocean.  Though Microsoft Paint is a very simple artistic tool, this artist created a piece that is much more involved and complex, portraying a great talent to a man who uses different mediums to create his work.
