The Gifts of Nature

- composed of a sunrise or sunset over a range of hills; reflection in the water below
- vibrant colors; primary colors blend into bright secondary colors
- implied lines, actual lines, horizontal lines, dynamic lines
- mostly horizontal lines other than triangle mountains
- texture seems smeared with lots of strokes

Describe

- eyes are led to the mountains because the shape is a break in the horizontal lines
- dark colors in the middle and on edges contrast the vibrant colors in between them
- visual interest on right by boat; eye is pulled left by white, thick vertical line then led up to the mountains
- mountains are emphasized by the vibrant colors around it
- colors blue, red, and yellow unifies
- blue in the sky, mountains, water, and boat; yellow and red in sky

Analyze

The boat is center of both rainbows of colors. This symbolizes that everywhere we look there is a beautiful world.
