Carrie Burgoon:Landscape Blog

1. This picture makes me think of a landscape because it looks sort of like a stem on a plant or a branch, also it uses all neutral colors making it seem a lot like nature. The background looks like it could be a close up on a tree and its bark. I really like this photo for the simple fact that you can't tell what this is a picture of. You have to see it for its design not what the object is.

2. In this picture you see a light green set of lines that make up a stem like design. Behind that is a brown and white implied texture of the bark on a tree. You can barely tell but what is in front of you is a fabric of some kind.

3.I think this is a very nice composition. The colors are neutral so it isn't too flashy. It has soft lines that lead your eye toward the top of the picture plane. The focal point would be the green area in the middle and in this picture I think it works to have that in the middle because there isn't a whole lot going on, the lines make your eye continue to move not just stop right there.

4. This is a story of calmness and relaxation. When you look at it it is easy on the eyes and gives off a comforting feeling. I would call it, Fresh Air because when i look at it, I feel the need to take a deep breath and let out my stress.

5. This picture is a lot like one of Joseph Mallord William Turner's paintings. He made a landscape of what looks like a wave but it is sort of abstract so you aren't for sure which is a lot like my image. You  can see that it has a landscape look but it's not a real landscape.
