<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 112030, member: 59&quot;]This pair has been challenging.</p><p><br /></p><p>Painting A actually appealed more to me when it appeared that the sky was yellow than it does now that I&#039;ve seen the &quot;more accurate&quot; picture. Not that I &quot;loved&quot; it with the yellow sky, but the second view revealed a less interesting color overall. I already thought the scene rather formulaic and without anything interesting besides the yellowness of the scene - as if painted in a bright dawn/early morning light. Now it has lost its appeal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Painting B is much more interesting. A watery, misty, almost-spring thaw look at a rundown farm house and its surroundings. The Bucks County comments resonated with me. I don&#039;t get the same &quot;leaning to the left&quot; feeling that several have mentioned and had to go back for another look several times to see what I &quot;missed.&quot; I still don&#039;t get it. The artist painted what was there, admittedly in an impressionist style. A snowy slope in the distance, a shed with a distinctive lean, very old trees that must have seen many years of wind and ice storms to account for their less than symmetrical branch structure. I like it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
