Mystery Painting Description
by Blake and Charles

Make a vertical rectangle. Paint about two thirds of it blue with white ovals everywhere on the blue. The ovals are randomly placed facing vertically. Take the rest of the rectangle and divide it diagonally with the top of the line on the blue and on the left-handed side. Paint the bottom half dark brown and the top half tan. The tan looks like sand. In the middle of the diagonal line make a rectangle. It should be very small. It should also be vertical. The bottom part (divided by the diagonal line) should be dark green, the top half light green. Do this by mixing yellow and green together.

Analysis
by Blake and Charles

Our painting was called "In the Patio VIII." It was painted by Georgia O'Keeffe. It was painted with oil on canvas. It's in the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The size is 25 by 20 inches. It was painted in 1950.

Our Walter Hays partners were very close. Their colors were almost perfect. Almost everything was perfect: the diagonal line, the green box, the sky.

The only thing we did wrong was we didn't say the size of our ovals. Our Walter Hays partners did a great job for such a hard painting.
