Image Essay #9


This painting possesses many of the color properties. There are four main color properties over all, dominance, temperature, color symbolism, emotion and this image has them all. The dominate color is obvious in this image, the black trees, they seem swamp like. The trees get smaller as they go back. Creating the illusion of space, making the trees appear as if they are far away to the audience. At first this image looks to be a cold and musty picture. Then you see the faint red be hind the trees and notice that they may look like they are on fire instituting a hot temperature because red is known to be a hot color. The color symbolism would be evil, creepy, and eerie, which is evident right away. Emotion was defiantly a big reason behind the creation of this image. There is an angry emotion that goes with this painting, giving it great pop making it such an amazing image.
