Changes

I have decided to change my second picture from Maritime Sentry to this: Foggy River

As it is from the same body of work as Spring's Landfall.

Describe:  This piece is cold and confronting. The girl in the water is very out of place as the entire scene looks like a landscape painting and it is unusual that in such a natural and serene place a girl would just be floating through. She seems dead, yet there is colour in her skin and her pink dress creates contrat to the cool colour scheme. Also, the fog on the river suggests it is very cold - not the type of place to be swimming.

Analyse: This art piece has a very monochromatic colour scheme and there is strong juxtaposition through the rosy coloured girl floating in the river and the cool and serene backdrop. The picture is surreal through the contrasts in colours and the girl. She is dead as the still backdrop and her motionless figure suggests she is so.  

Interpret: I think this is in connection with Spring's landfall as they are both from the same body of work; Rite of passage. More than that, both of these images represent the juxtaposition between reality and fantasy and both have surreal elements. This image is very dreamlike. It is represented in the misty and serene lake. This image seems to represent the encounter of adulthood and how she has been drowned in the unexpected
