The World Through The Eyes of a Dog and Two Cats

I chose to do these pictures because for two months now during the various times of the day my dog and two cats will sit at the back slider and stare out the window watching something. However, every time I try and look at what they are staring at I can never see anything. For weeks now I have been wondering what is so interesting outside that they have to sit there a watch it for days. The mystery presses on and I still have no clue........

Rothko No. 61 Rust and Blue

I decided this week to blog about Mark Rothko. I know he is a topic of controversy however I decided to look at his paintings on a larger scale.I chose this painting mainly because I really liekd the colors he chose to use. The colder color scheme, I also noticed he uses so many layers of paint there really is a tremendous amount of layers and brush strokes to create each segment of the paitning. There is a sense of a landscape to me when I look at the Rothko paintings because of the horizontal lines and I do understand why  so many people can dissect his paintings for a long while.

The Balcony

Manet, The Balcony 1868 oil on canvas

I love the coloring in this painting. I think the detail in the clothing is incredible. It seems so fine, and really looks like a photograph. The girl closest in the foreground is the most in focus, making it look even more so like a photograph.

Henri Matisse
Woman with a Hat
1905
Oil on canvas

the colors in this piece is absolutely amazing. I love how even though there are bright colors in different spots, you still know exactly what you are looking at. Matisse always showed such an understanding of color in his pieces.
