alexander rates a painting

I took a photo of this piece at The Met..I am so sorry I cant remember the artists name--it is a sin to show a piece and not credit the artist..(alive or dead.)


on a ten scale:


mood: 10

color: 7

mystery: 10

technique: 6

glory: 9

composition: 7

 Notice how this painting guides the eye...the path leads the eye into the picture..the tree on th e left keeps you in the painting (otherwise your eye would "walk"right out of the pic) Noticce the clous that guides you back up into the large tree--great genius move that was by this artist...the big ole tree guides you back down to the fence and back to path--the cirlce is complete you can never escape--the twilight zone--you are stuck here forever.
