Art
is not about what someone else thinks, whether a piece is good or
bad is almost entirely down to the viewer. Art evokes the senses,
the feelings you get when looking at a piece is what is important.
For example, when looking at a painting does it make you feel calm,
warm, cold, angry, energised, sleepy, happy ? The feelings a piece
of art gives to the viewer may vary from person to person depending
on their own experiences, likes & dislikes. |

I
feel very relaxed when I look at this picture.Like arriving home
in the evening after a long cycle ride. Overall I get a sense
of warmth and peaceful silence. |
This picture reminds me of my trips to
France. Looking at this picture I almost feel that I'm there. I
can smell the earth and hear the birds & tractor in the background.
If this picture was hung in a restaurant it would certainly whet
my appetite. |

Looking
at this picture is like looking out of a window very early in
the morning on a summers day, just as the sun is about to rise
and the birds have started to sing.
|
The rich colours give the picture an African feel. I can imagine
a hot, dusty wind, gently blowing through the trees. This picture
would look good, next to a table in a restaurant. |
