Art-in-NY Exquisite Corpse

Art-in-New York in FA11 - Image #1

My understanding of what I was required to do for this piece is still cloudy but I tried to follow the instructions given to me as best I could.  I chose not to use all of the elements from the image assigned to me.  Though it is clear that the piece I was given was a form of surrealism, my beginners "status" lead me to believe that simplicity was best in order to show what I thought the piece represented.

One of the images drawn in the middle (top-right) of the picture plain reminded me of a discarded washing machine.  I thought, “where would I find the other random elements… in one place?”  An ally way with dumpsters jumped into my mind and I chose to paint exactly that.  My final result was a night scene in an ally.
