Bleak Moment

Art: Wiatr halny by Stanisław Witkiewicz : 1895

Maybe because I am in such a sad mood this was the most fitting piece to post. I am sure everyone has gone through moments of sadness at some point in their life, whether its losing someone important to you, a breakup or something as simple as a disappointment. In these moments there could be feelings of desolation, coldness, depression, discouragement, and other things (I'm sure you get the idea).

This art work coincides with my mood, it seems cold, sad, dark and one element stands (tree) in the midst of it all.

Pleasant Feelings

Art: The Road to Versalles by Camille Pissarro: 1870

You may have noticed that my last few posts were on the pleasant side. Maybe it's because I am about to graduate with a Master's degree in a few months and that is an extremely pleasant thought! Conversely that is the same reason my posts have been fewer each week.

In the midst of all of the school work I love surrounding myself with pleasant calming visual pieces. And here is another one that fits in with those. Even the presence of the community and the weather in this work seems pleasant. It seems like just a regular day in "Pleasant Town"!

Warmth

Art: Winter Sunset by Dubravko Raos

Do you ever think that something makes you feel warm inside. Well looking at this makes me feel this way. Even with the winter surrounding, it feels like being in this area would make you forget all about that and provide you with some feeling of warmth, especially when thinking about entering the house.

It seems so remote, yet inviting. It also invokes some sense of family :).
