this painting is made up mosttly of local color, colors seen inthe natural world. to me the painting seems very organic and earthy. There are some areas, where the houses are that have pinkish colors that simultaneous contrast with the natural colors of the landscape. the colors in this painting, althought very earthy, seem to be very bold,. they really pop out at you.
I think that the use of these natural colors like blue and green really give this paiting a meditated feeling. Green is one of the calmest colors to the eye and that reflects in this painting. Blue is a tranquil color, helping give that relaxed meditative quality to the painting. when i look at this painting it makes me relax. the earthy tones let my eye calm down and move comfortably across the canvas, but the colors of the buildings and the pink that seems to pop out at my eye keep me intereested and excited to be looking at the painting.

response to object:

one of my favorite possesions is my polaroid camera. i love the camera not only because of what it does and how it looks, but because of all the things it reminds me of. I like to use this camera to instantly snap photos and collect memories. The camera reminds me of christmas one year when i was little and i got a polaroid for christmas. I remember opening it up and taking a picture of my dog next to the christmas tree. i also remembering finding out how expensive film was and being super bummed about it. The camera mostly reminds me of my childhood and my family. IT reminds me of everyone i've taken pictures of with it. It reminds me a lot of my friend kelsey who was always capturing the most beautiful things and putting them into tha tlittle white frame. I miss her and a lot of things. Things have changed so much. I miss my family together, too. no one is around anymore. i miss being a kid.
