Marilyn Monroe by Voka
The bright colors bring Marilyn’s face to life for us. The artist seem to have fun and was able to convey the sexiness Marilyn was known for.

Harvesters Resting by Jean Francois Millet
The painting is such a clear depiction of the life of the peasant people of that time frame. It amazes me how for back art goes back in history and its power to display the how people lived.

Max Schmitt in a Singe Scull by Thomas Eakins
The definition the artist was able to create from the reflections in the water to the clouds in the sky. It’s like an illusion of the eye.

Conversation at The Race Track by Edgar Degas
The artist’s use of tan paper to create the work made it stand out. It gives the work character.

Unknown by Andrew Wyeth
I chose this work because of its use of shadows and details to the dog’s paws and fur makes him seem real.

Annette by Alberto Giacometti
This painting seems to be so free to me. It isn’t set by any boundaries and truly is a reflection of how the artist saw his wife who was the model for the work.

The innocence of the little girl drawing can be felt through the black and white work. I felt that the small emphasis on color on her cheeks gives her life. The very subtle pops of color in her dress are just right to where you can imagine her wearing it.

Unknown By Chelin Sanjuan
The reason why I chose this work seems obvious. The depiction of the young, beautiful woman is defined by the artist’s ability to make her real to the eye. The intense touches to her hair makes it flow almost magically.

The Dance by Dario Campanile
I chose this work because it conveys the dedication that is required in ballet. The flesh tones in her leg and foot defines each muscle and wrinkle.

Unknown by Dean Ryalls
The bright red, orange and yellow colors all play off of each to convey the despair of the naked woman who seems to be trying to reach some light at the end of some tunnel. It just speaks volumes. -
Unknown by Samatha French
Her creation seems so three dimensional. The way the colors play off each other creates a true illusion of the water’s surface. She even took the time to give each individual bubble it’s on character and size. The artist was even able to depict the woman’s navel and define the different forms of her body.

Innocent by David Gray
The emotions of the girl can be seen through the artist’s eye. He paid attention to detail and was able to display her head wrap and golden curls.

Unknown by Alyssa Monks
This artist was able to create what seems like an actual photo of the little girl in the water. A was really drawn to the colors used in the girls face which brings your eye to concentrate on her.

Hunger by Rebecca Magar
The despair and true suffering of the little boy and the dog can be seen, but the little boy still shares with the dog. The emotional connection of man and dog can be felt.

Unknown by Chiriac
The three dimensional qualities are brilliantly shown in the wine bottle and the glass. The artist has such attention to detail it gives the work real qualities.

Her Fancy by Andrea Kowch
This artist was not only able to give facial qualities to the woman, but her detail to the woman’s clothing seems so real. The netting on her hat to the crochet of her sweater, the artist played off the colors to portray the details.

The Shining by Zlatina Ivanova
The use of such dark charcoal with such strong strokes play off the lighter shading to display the vivid face. You can even see his emotions in his eyes.

Unknown by Stephen Henderson
The work seems to be created with soft strokes and the shading of colors create the beach and the ocean. It just brings a feeling of calm and normalcy.

Young Lady Playing Flute by Sajida Hussain
The deliberate brush strokes of the artist are carefully placed in this creation. The colors are bright, vivid and clear. Each placement of colors seems so purpose and mindful. The artist seems to place a line around the lady to make her stand out from the background.
