Mind's Eye

The oil painting, Two Halves, is a very interesting painting that captures the curiosity of the viewer. One just cannot help but be drawn into the work of art. The viewer can feel the harmony between the colors as they blend together. The eye is drawn to the small wood shed, which is the intended focal point. The setting of the picture is the middle of the woods that a path runs through in both directions. The background of the scene is the ends of the path while the foreground is the actual path.
The image is balanced quite effectively. The house is heavy and so are the ends of the paths. Their positions are just right. The colors also convey the perfect calming mood. The woodsy colors are crisp and defined but at the same time muted and blended. They provide the right amount of cheer.
When the viewer looks about the painting the sensory experiences that can be felt are calmness and serenity. Questions may trace through the viewers minds. Who uses this shed? Where is this? Also one can imagine a simpler life because everything in the painting is straightforward and uncomplicated. The earthy colors are aesthetically pleasing and they provide the painting with the woodland vibe that it requires.
