I liked this piece a lot, its bright, I don't loose interest when I'm looking at it. I also like how its not a exact portrait of flowers, the artist put his own touch into what they were looking at.
Vice Versa, No.26
Acrylic on Canvas

This one made me wonder what the artist wanted their viewers to get out of looking at this painting. What came across my head was the women in the picture is fine either way. I thought this because the title has the saying "Vice Versa" in it and that means either way. Also each lady in this picture is a different color, and she's a little chunkier so maybe the artist is saying women no matter how they look are fine either way.

These were fun, i wonder why the artist made them but looking at them made me think of clowns which made me remember my child hood when my parents would take me to the circus.

Right when I saw this the Pixar movie Wall-E popped into my head. The question i have for this artist is what inspired him to make it look like a little alien man. It looks like this artist used kitchen objects, like a spoon or a bowl. I also like the materials they used, the shinny silver really caught my eye.

This artiest had more than one painting in the art gallery, I saw a pattern with her work. She uses Acrylic on canvas on all her painting. They are all very bright and interesting to look at and is a cinerary of somewhere. I enjoy looking at her art, i wonder if these are places she has traveled? or how she is inspired to choose what cinerary she will paint.

I liked this one a lot due to the bright colors, it reminds me a lot of the leafs changing and that time of year is my favorite. My eyes are drawn towards the bottom of the painting, the colors that are used in this reminded me of one of my favorite shirts I own.

This caught my eye because in my drawing class we are learning techniques that look like this drawing. I also like it cause it makes me think who the girl is and what she is doing..is she dancing? falling? standing?

This one made me feel so peaceful and relaxed, I really like this artist way of painting. He paintings are very pretty and girly. It makes me want to visit the places she paints.

This one made me think for a minute, it looks like a beach but then to me it also looks like it can be a glacier with water surrounding it. Realistically I'm pretty sure its a beach, I really like this because it made me feel peaceful. When I look at it these two movies pop into my head Somethings Got To Give and What Happens In Vegas. In the movie Somethings Got To Give the older lady in it lives on a beautiful beach, and In What Happens In Vegas at the end of the movie the lead girl runs away to the beach because thats her safe place. One day I hope my backyard looks like this.

This one is by the same artist as the one up above, this one looks like it is made out of forks, tea pots, cups,lids and bowls. I ask my self again what inspired the artist to create these and what they mean to him.
