Gorgeous. I love the glow.

BTW, I'm a new follower. I hope you don't mind if sometimes I praise and sometimes I share something fun I see in the image.

Would I mind?! I ADORE comments! You get to know a painting so much better when you get others opinions. :) Welcome to the blog!

Questions to ask about a painting

What is the subject of the painting? Does the title add to your understanding of the painting?

What's the main color scheme? Why do you think the artist chose these colors? How do they make you feel?

Where do you look first? What do your eyes follow around the painting? What seems most important in this painting?

Is the painting organized, or jumbled? Chaotic or peaceful?

Consider what it all might mean: What does the painting tell you? What is the artist trying to say about the subject matter? What feeling does the painting evoke? How did the painter achieve this effect?
