Paintings


Realistic paintings are incredibly beautiful such as the Mona Lisa, but any realistic painting can be just as beautiful. In this acrylic painting by Scott Davidson, a man's hand is "creating" a young beautiful woman. She is coming to life as he is drawing. What I really like about this painting, is that the angle that was created is slightly slanted which gives the painting kind of a playful look to it.

Color

This is a poster design made by Danil Kryvoruchko. I think what he was trying to do in this piece is "coloring" or "lifting up" a boring city with love, music, excitement, and explosive fun. If you look really close inside the mushroom cloud you can see little stars, hearts, and music notes all in amazingly bright colors that pop out from the poster only because the rest of the poster is gray and white. Also, if you look closely, you can see some of the buildings gaining some life with colorful polka-dots, flowers, stripes, and other bright designs. I really love the quality of this piece of artwork, immediatly after I saw this on the internet I printed it off and placed it on my wall with some other pictures. I think the artist did an incredible job in expressing what he wanted to express in this piece.
