This painting would look just like a simple green forest to the naked eye but if you pay attention yes the trees are very tall and full but the bottom shows more than that the barks of some of the trees and you can even see like a lake in the back.

This exhibition "called nature soothes all" shows how the captured moment of the artist when they made the choice to choose these specific pieces to show the audience that they would feel the same peace and tranquility that they did when then saw the ending results of these beautiful and tastefully hand picked out pieces. The main colors being used are of course green brown and blue. I loved to put these together because the theme goes hand in hand with each and every piece and the outdoors theme is just perfect you feel like you could jump from square A to Square D in an instant. When Scott Burton put "Pair Of Rock Chairs "it looks so beautiful how he made chairs out of rocks where people could literally sit and enjoy what nature has to give. When Gerhard Richter painted this oil canvass of "Meadowland" It looks like a land of big beautiful green meadows as if you were to fall from the sky you wouldn't be harmed because of the beautiful comfy meadow that is waiting. When Gustav Klimnt painted the oil canvass of "The park" he made sure you looked at this beautiful  park like no other and would want to sleep under the trees of how peaceful it looks. The last but my favorite is "Bird Bath"By Paula Hayes I just wish I could jump in there and enjoy myself it looks so refreshing and very appeasing to the eye.
