thinking outside of the box

This posterboard-size painting was done by me last year in my drawing II class at the University of Northern Iowa. I can honestly say that it's one of the few things that I am proud of, which is quite upsetting. When I really think about why it's successful to me, I come up with several reasons. I like how it abstractly represents two things merging together, even though they are still far apart. Their is attempt and success at the same time. Both of these objects are opposites in color, shape and for, which is even more controversial because opposites don't reallllly attract,...do they? I like this piece because it shows two people working togther, for whatever reason. I also like my color choices as well,..but that's beside the point...
