<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GaleriaGila, post: 114928, member: 993&quot;]Painting A</p><p>I can appreciate the bold strokes of facial structure... it has a rather haunted (or maybe detached) expression, for me.&nbsp; Looks 1800&#039;s-ish.&nbsp;&nbsp; I get a very chilly feeling from the colors.&nbsp;&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t buy it, but if somebody gave it to me (somebody who visits my house, anyway!) I would hang it on a wall by a window, with her looking out.&nbsp; Her mood would suit Cleveland&#039;s usual weather.</p><p>Painting B</p><p>Yikes, he looks messed up!&nbsp;&nbsp; Or maybe the artist is just taking &quot;license&quot; to show ugly or difficult aspects of human nature.&nbsp; Either way, he needs some lovin&#039;.&nbsp; Unlike the first painting, I do feel a warmth, an aliveness, even with the pain (literal or figurative).&nbsp; Again, I wouldn&#039;t buy it for myself, but I know a Hipster I might invite to view it!&nbsp; If somebody gave it to me (and again, somebody who&#039;s gonna expect to see it displayed)... I guess I&#039;d just lean it against some books in the bookcase, maybe near some 1950s-60s titles relating to teens or&nbsp; swingin&#039; sixties or such.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another interesting pair, Brad!&nbsp; A real contrast, for me.&nbsp; If pushed to choose, I guess I like Painting B better, although my idea about Painting A looking out a window kinda intrigues me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
