Graham Gercken, An Artist From Australia And Lives

The texture of the canvas works very well with the subject matter portrayed in the painting. The grassy hill side and the leaves of the trees are especially complimented by the canvas. It makes the leaves feel like they are slightly moving, this combined with the lack of detail itself the leaves. This is contrasted nicely with the very detailed renderings of the trunks and branches of the trees, the

The tradition artwork we may see is like painting, photographing, drawing or printing. This artist makes different view point about art, he creates a showroom for trees and drawing the structure about it, it does makes people thinking more about the nature. The nature is like big thing, it can means many, such as environment, trees, forest, or the animal that around. When the artist create the artwork, he is trying to display the real nature from the artwork he created. For example like, on the beginning part of episode, we can see that Mark Dion borrowed rats from biology lab and paint their body into all black color and hang it in the tree, it is kind of performance art. He did draft on how it looks like, and really practice it to make it become real.

Romantic paintings, mostly expressed the power of how nature engulfs and contrasts from everything else. The Lonely Tree by Caspar Friedrich has a dark, burnt tree in the middle of

First, I notice in this art work has some implied motion because if you notice in the background of the art work you can see some people gather together without any animals, and also if notice the animals and the children are together on the other side of the mountains, This is what makes this art work more interesting is like if the adults are looking for their children but now the animals are taking care of them. This things make me question the art work it took me almost one hour to fully understand this painting but honestly am not sure if what I understood is right or

In the painting titled “Post Apocalypse” by an unknown artist it falls under a landscape painting. There is no sort of balance in this painting, all of the colors look bland and boring and have no depth to them. The only thing that remotely catches my eyes when I look at the painting is the birds flying, but that’s really it. Looking at the painting it’s hard to tell if there is water in the distance or you’re looking at the blue sky. In this painting the main emphasis that I see is the dead two dead trees painted in the front that are almost identical. Another point of emphasis I see in the painting is the birds flying into the distance. The reason they can be a point of emphasis is because they are rather large for being far away and very

Using a light colour palette (almost pastel-like at times) and shadowing, Frances Hodgkins effectively conveys the feeling of a warm summer day in Europe. In her painting, a man and a woman are seated below a tree with their child, dressed in bourgeois clothing and engulfed by the sunshine cast through the leaves of the trees (Collier). The piece itself has a strong sense of movement, as the artist used watered-down lines with very little detail, which gives it generally a very relaxing feeling.

This painting shows how close and codependent humans and nature were. How well humans worked together with one another and their world. How peaceful those that are close to nature are, which is why it (nature) must be celebrated and appreciated.

First painting that I choses called NATURE WALK by Tim Ames from New York. Ames is late blooming landscape painter; he starts painting in his 50s. He really enjoys painting because “I soon discovered that while painting, I became so immersed in the process that all else was erased from my mind.” So he forgets all his problems while painting and focus on what his doing at the moment. He never went to art school and never been thought by anyone before. He starts to teach himself how to paint by reading books of famous painters. He began with oils, but was soon drawn to the fast drying acrylics, which seemed a better fit to his style of painting. John Singer Sargent, Joquin Sorolla and of modern masters Richard Schmid and Scott Burdick are the people who he got spired by. He is the co-founder and serve as President/ Business Manager of an Artist Coop, Lakeside Artisans ' LLC, which opened in March of 2011. He helps other artist to sell their art works in this place. I think most of his works are realistic and close to real landscape. Name of this painting was the reason that I chose it. It called nature walk and when you look close to the right side of the painting there is wiggle. At first I thought it’s a road or something but when I looked closer it sapped like a snake. It’s like the nature is crawling and try to move away. It also has two side on it as well. if you look at the trees on the left side you would see that they don’t have any leafs but on the other side, there

This art work is done by Josephine Wall. This work is an abstract art painting. This painting is a three dimensional space that will give you a different illusion of what the girl could be thinking about. It give a perspective of peace in the land. The picture give you a feeling of it may be a spring time or a summer day that she is thinking of and the weather is nice and pleasant. The painting of this picture looks as if the girl is having happy thoughts of everybody is getting along with each other. It also capture an image of the people on a hill enjoy the outside just going by their everyday life. In this picture the artist gives a lot of composition of contrast colors like blue, orange and some green. I see that a lot of the orange is

The way the sun pours down on the people, the rest of the canvas basks in the sun whereas the shadows are a darker green hue on the lighter green grass. The way the sun is portrayed, it looks as if it's mid-afternoon. Seurat's pointillism shows the light coming from the left onto the people and objects. The trees show the special blending effects of the colors. To the left of the painting, the use of white creates a light and as the eye moves to the right, it blends into the color of the greens of the trees. Here, Seurat is placing white and green next to each other. The brushwork of the painting is dotlike with the dots varying in size and shape. These individuals dots blend together into one scene.

This painting is a little girl outdoors on a warm summer afternoon enjoying the pleasures and the beauty that nature has to offer. Cool color used to show natures beauty, as well as the warm colors used to paint the girl.

Robert Patten’s book carefully analyzes the life of George Cruikshank, his associations and most importantly, his art. According to Patten (p. 15), George Cruikshank was an English native born in September of the year 1792. He was the son of Isaac Cruikshank, a prosperous Scottish caricaturist and painter born in Edinburgh. George Cruikshank studied briefly in an elementary school in London known as Edgeware before starting a long stint in his father’s studio. George’s career began earlier compared to other artists. As a child George Cruikshank made some of the kid’s demonstrations and lottery printings. He continued to conduct the demonstrations and printings commercially for many years. Initially, George Cruikshank wanted to study at the

Nature-inspired paintings, such as a couple paddling a rowboat, man and woman playing croquet on a verdant lawn, are both serene and romantic. Soft, muted colors promote peace of mind and relaxation.

The waterfall of wonder, I call it this because I don’t know whether it’s blanket or waterfall. I never figured out if it's an actual waterfall or not. Although the waterfall of color reminds me of Alice in Wonderland and how everything has a quirky twist, but makes sense. The swirling colors underneath represent the craziness in my life and how I mask it like the painting in a sheet of white. Calming the paint down is a lilac flower background. Wisteria by John Salhus is a beautiful painting that brings forth a frenzy of

Woman Walking in an Exotic Forest (1905), created by French artist, Henri Rousseau, is a painting that depicts a woman positioned in the center foreground of the piece, fashioned in lightly coloured attire of the early 20th century. A vibrant forest surrounds the woman to make up the middle and background of the painting, and consists of tall blue flowers, grasses, and trees that carry large orange fruit. Through this specific content, and the stylistic elements of the piece, the painting comes to illustrate the challenges and turmoil of the transition to Modernity – the quality or condition of being modern (OED,1). This thematic component reveals itself through the tension between the periods of Modernity and Classicism, as seen through the central image of the woman, the painting’s scale, and colour palette, along with, the inclusion of Primitive elements in the style, and subject used. As such, this methodology, in the form, and technique of the piece, communicates a larger complexity.
