a sense of place

this picture is a very balanced one. the amount of things in the front of the room balances out with the size of the foot of the bed. the earthy tones that are used make it seem as if it was a room of an adult. the closed window make a it a dark room and the cool colors of the left side of the room balance out those warm colors of the right side. it seems like a quiet safe environment that one might want to be in unlike the one below the looks as if the woman doesn't wan to be there.

the mood of this painting is gloomy and sad. the way that the woman is position make it seems as if she id thinking. the expression on her face doesn't seem likes she;s happy. the room is very simple. the cool colors of the bed and the empty walls make it seem lonely. the one window creates a highlight on the empty wall bringing more attention to its emptiness, and the dark colors used in the room just brings the sad lonely mood.
